DSM

DSM was originally founded in 1902 by the Dutch Government to mine coal reserves but is today a multinational company. Its operations are divided into three clusters — nutrition, materials and innovation. Products include thermoplastics used in cars, electronic devices and strong fibres used in protective materials. The company has lately divested some of its chemical units, including its coating resin and engineering materials business, as part of an ongoing transformation into more of a health, nutrition & bioscience company.
