DSM Strengthens Presence in Chinese Enzyme Market
A joint venture has positioned DSM in a fast-growing Chinese food enzyme market.
Royal DSM N.V. (Heerlen, Netherlands) has entered into a joint venture with a Chinese biotech company to provide food enzyme solutions for China.

The Yixing enzyme plant will expand the DSM global manufacturing networks on the Asian continent.”
Asferg added that the Yixing plant will be upgraded to meet quality and traceability standards as outlined by DSM’s Quality for Life commitment.
DSM is assuming 85% of shares in the joint venture. Yixing will absorb the remaining 15%.
