The completion of the new biotechnology center is part of a €100 million investment program by DSM to scale up R&D in the Netherlands
Royal DSM, a global science-based company active in health, nutrition and materials, opened a new state-of-the-art biotechnology facility at its site in Delft to accelerate DSM’s biotechnology research and development capabilities for applications in food and nutrition, feed, fuel, pharma and bio-based materials. The completion of this new biotechnology center is part of a €100 million investment program by DSM to scale up R&D in the Netherlands since 2013. The center, which offers the broadest range of biotechnology specializations under one DSM roof, clusters innovation, housing over 400 research and developments experts and builds on a solid history of nearly 150 years of fermentation and biotechnology innovation in Delft, the Netherlands.
The new Biotechnology Center is a further step in the development of the site in Delft, where DSM Food Specialties has its global headquarters. DSM has expanded the site in Delft over the years, including building a large, modern food and application center. DSM has also invested together with other industry players in a state-of-the-art biotech fermentation pilot plant on the Delft site. The Delft site is furthermore an important location for a number of industrial productions such as antibiotic intermediates and yeast extracts and flavors.
