Royal DSM revealed its new integrated Food & Beverage unit, bringing together three areas of DSM’s nutrition business – Food Specialties, Hydrocolloids and part of its Nutritional Products group. The move follows emerging customer and market needs, DSM announced. The new business group combines the company’s full range of food and beverage ingredients, expertise and science-based solutions that improve the taste and texture of foods, as well as support healthier lives and a healthier planet. The new working unit will focus on helping consumers ‘enjoy it all’ without having to choose between taste, texture and health. This differentiating message will be the cornerstone of a new campaign, the company anticipated.

This simplified structure falls in line with DSM’s announcement in September 2021 that the company will become a fully-focused Health, Nutrition & Bioscience company.

“The food and beverage market is an incredibly exciting and dynamic space, so it’s a fantastic time for both the industry and DSM,” commented Patrick Niels, executive VP Food & Beverage at DSM. “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. With DSM, our customers get more than a supplier. 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.”
