With our unique competences across health, nutrition and materials DSM has much to offer to talented graduates. As we accelerate our shift towards Life Sciences and Materials Sciences, talented graduates are needed more than ever as their insights, creativity and commitment contribute to our success; today and tomorrow…

The DSM story
Few companies have undergone as many successful transformations as Royal DSM N.V. Established in 1902 as the nationalized Dutch coal mining company; DSM has repeatedly reinvented itself to adjust to changing circumstances, shifting from its coal mining origins via bulk chemicals and petrochemicals to its current position as a Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company.

DSM today
DSM is a global Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company with unique competences across health, nutrition and materials. DSM supplies numerous innovative ingredients and applications that are helping to address some of the world’s most pressing issues such as climate change, energy consumption and the need for a balanced food supply: by using creativity and science to help our customers build lighter cars, create cleaner industrial processes, make plastics and other materials from plants and lead the fight against obesity and malnutrition. End markets are extremely varied and include human and animal nutrition and health, personal care, pharmaceuticals, automotive, coatings and paint, electrical and electronics, life protection and housing.

With annual sales of EUR 8 billion, located in 49 countries, DSM employs in the region of 22,700 people worldwide. Royal DSM N.V.'s ordinary shares are listed on Euronext Amsterdam since 1989.

The DSM portfolio
DSM’s activities are grouped into five clusters: Nutrition, Pharma, Performance Materials, Polymer Intermediates and the non-core Base Chemicals and Materials cluster.

• Polymer Intermediates

DSM produces caprolactam and acrylonitrile, raw materials used in synthetic fibers and plastics.


Strategy and the future
In Vision 2010 – Building on Strengths, DSM has clearly formulated and set out its strategy. With its shift to a Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company, DSM has strongly positioned itself to meet the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s society, such as improving nutrition, health and the environment. Ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability will enable DSM to remain at the forefront and deliver solid value to all stakeholders, both today and in the future.

DSM partnerships

• UNITED NATIONS World Food Programme

In March 2007 DSM announced an official partnership with the United Nation’s World Food Programme (WFP). WFP is the largest provider of food aid to the world’s hungry. DSM will provide technical and scientific expertise and high nutrient products as well as financial assistance to improve the WFP food basket through the addition of essential micronutrients. Together, DSM and WFP can make a difference to millions of people.

• NOC/NSF & the Olympics

DSM and the  NOC*NSF have been ‘Partners in Sport’ since 2001. The Olympic philosophy, the tremendous ambition displayed by Olympic athletes and in particular their great passion very much appeal to DSM. As innovation partner, DSM does more than just provide financial support. Together with NOC*NSF we are developing new products in the field of nutrition and performance materials exclusively for the Dutch Olympic team, to enable them to deliver top-level performances.
