NETHERLANDS — Global health, nutrition, and bioscience company Royal DSM has unified its food Specialties, Hydrocolloids and part of its Nutritional Products group into a new integrated Food & Beverage operating structure.
In a statement, the company said the new structure is designed to bring together its full range of food and beverage ingredients, expertise and science-based solutions for improving the taste and texture of food.
DSM said the new Food & Beverage organization will focus on helping consumers ‘enjoy it all’ without having to choose between taste, texture and health.
“The food and beverage market is an incredibly exciting and dynamic space, so it’s a fantastic time for both the industry and DSM,” Patrick Niels, executive VP Food & Beverage at DSM, said.
“This new organization will better serve our customers by providing one-stop-shop access to our full portfolio of food and beverage solutions – unleashing our full potential and cementing our position as a powerhouse for the food and beverage industry.”
Niels is confident that with new integrated business structure, DSM offers more than just ingredients to its customers.
“They get a purpose-led partner that understands their business needs and will help them innovate, improve and grow. The result? Delicious food and beverage products that are good for people and good for the planet,” he adds
DSM says the simplified structure represents the activation of its plan first announced in September 2021 to become a fully-focused health, nutrition, and bioscience company.
The company has built out that plan through several recent acquisitions, including Vestkorn Milling, Tau, Norway, for $73 million, and First Choice Ingredients, Germantown, Wis., for $453 million.
