Can DSM Firmenich merger deliver on its synergistic promise?

The deal rivals that of the 2021 €20bn+ (£17bn+) merger between Worldwide Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) and DuPont’s Vitamin and Biosciences division.

The Dutch and Swiss companies have spoken a lot of the synergies they predict will save at the very least €175 million (£149m), whereas not chopping too a lot of 28,000 jobs and maintaining annual R&D spends greater than most rivals at 9.3% of income – about €700m (£145m).

By comparability, Givaudan spends 8.4% of its revenues on R&D, IFF/DuPont 6.1% and Symrise 5.9%.

The deal might not be slated to finish till H1 2023 – regulator approval forthcoming – however DSM Firmenich, because the €40bn (£34bn) entity can be identified, is already dwell and kicking with a bespoke website​ spelling out its science, innovation, sustainability and purpose-driven imaginative and prescient.
