DSM-Firmenich kicks off operations as merger completes
The combined entity of DSM and Firmenich has begun operations after the successful merger of the two companies to form DSM- Firmenich. With a global workforce
of nearly 30,000 staff, DSM- Firmenich comprises four business units: Perfumery & Beauty; Taste, Texture & Health; Health, Nutrition & Care; and Animal Nutrition & Health.
The stated mission of
Perfumery & Beauty is to create superior scents with proven benefits “using the best and largest palette of natural, synthetic, and biotech ingredients”. The new entity hopes to
generate annual revenue of over €11.5 billion ($12.6 billion) with
dual headquarters in Switzerland and the Netherlands and is listed on the Euronext stick exchange in Amsterdam. Following the successful
completion of the merger, co-CEO Geraldine Matchett will step down on 1 September. The other DSM-Firmenich co-
CEO, Dimitri de Vreeze (pictured), will assume full control on that date. “Today marks a new beginning
for us all that is the culmination of more than a century of ground- breaking science from two great companies. DSM-Firmenich now stands out as a category of one, uniquely working at the intersection between what people individually want and what we collectively need, without
costing the Earth,” they said in a statement. “After all, what is essential has
limited impact if it is not desirable, and that impact is not positive if it is not sustainable. And sustainable things that people don’t want or need don’t help much!,” they added.
“We are truly global, built on an
incredible foundation of proven world-class science with the broadest portfolio of nutrients, flavours, and fragrances. We are delighted to embark on this journey together as a single force for good as innovators in nutrition, health, and beauty.”
