DSM-Firmenich has begun a process to carve-out and separate out the Animal Nutrition & Health (ANH) business because of the different dynamics it faces to the Perfumery & Beauty, Taste, Texture & Health and Health, Nutrition & Care businesses. The process should be completed in the course of 2025. The company said that it believes that a separation would allow it “to strengthen its position as a world-leader in nutrition, health, and beauty”.

DSM and Firmenich have completed their merger and will henceforth operate under the name of DSM-Firmenich. The new company will have about 30,000 employees and will operate in four divisions:

Perfumery & Beauty

* Taste, Texture & Health

* Health, Nutrition & Care

* Animal Nutrition & Health
