PROFILE |
 |
Maybe it's easier to remember DSM as a leading maker of aspartame than of plastic stock shapes, but this global company manufactures a diverse range of chemical, plastic, and life science products. DSM's polymers and industrial chemicals (about 50% of sales) include fertilizers, melamine, and intermediate materials. The company's performance materials division (about 30%) makes elastomers (rubber), engineering plastics, and resins, while its life sciences unit produces food ingredients and fine chemicals for pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics. DSM mainly sells to the pharmaceutical, automotive, packaging, and electronics industries. Europe and North America together account for almost 85% of the company's sales.
