We are dsm-firmenich

We’re innovators in nutrition, health, and beauty. And we bring progress to life

We already know a thing or two about progress

The countdown is on to tackle the world’s biggest problems and meet consumers’ ever-evolving needs. As the leading co-creation and innovation partner in nutrition, health, and beauty, we love a challenge. We work at the crossroads of what’s essential for life, desirable for society, and sustainable for our planet – always driven by our purpose of bringing progress to life.

Our ambitions may be sky high, but our feet are firmly on the ground

Our four complementary businesses use trailblazing science to deliver solutions that make sense. Think plant-based burgers that taste great as well as reducing the pressure on our planet; a clever feed additive that cuts methane emissions from burping cows; a yummy gummy that boosts people’s immunity; or perfumes with outstanding ingredients that smell beautiful.
