History
The announcement of the merger between DSM and Firmenich was first made in 2022[3] with a goal of establishing a leading nutrition and personal care ingredients company. The merger was considered by both organizations to be a "merger of equals"[4]. The merger was completed on 9 May 2023[2].
On 30 May 2024, a new headquarters in Maastricht was officially opened by Queen Máxima of the Netherlands.[5]
On 11 February 2025, Novonesis reached an agreement with the company to acquire its shares in the Feed Enzyme Alliance for €1.5 billion.[6] The agreement would dissolve the Alliance and have Novonesis take over all sales and distribution activities.
