Innovation is a survival skill. DSM Nutritional Products fosters this skill to the benefit of both the consumer’s future and that of the company. Lateral thinking and innovative attitudes are valuable tools with which to secure that future. These lead to discoveries that DSM then links to customers’ needs, extending the range of offering and creating new business opportunities.
Starting in 1935 with the chemical synthesis of vitamin C, Roche had always been a pioneer in the industrial synthesis of vitamins and carotenoids. Today DSM Nutritional Products maintains this tradition and invests more than 4% of its sales value in R&D, which is significantly higher than peers in the chemical industry.
DSM’s Research & Development activities are concentrated in the region of Basel, Switzerland, in eight Research Centers: Animal Nutrition and Health, Human Nutrition and Health, Personal Care, Biotechnology, Process Research, Process Development, Product Form Development and Analytics.
