Based in Kaiseraugst, not removed from Basel, Switzerland, the ANH enterprise generated a turnover of greater than 3.2 billion euros final yr, or 1 / 4 of the dsm-firmenich’s revenues. However, it weighed on the outcomes for the 2023 monetary yr, particularly as a result of volatility of the vitamin market.

“This is a difficult moment, but we strongly believe that a separation would be better for both businesses and their employees,” commented Dimitri de Vreeze, CEO of dsm-firmenich.
