DSM was established in 1902 by the Dutch government to mine coal reserves in the Southern Province of Limburg. To this day we continue to use the English translation of the company's original name, the Nederlandse Staatsmijnen (Dutch State Mines), signifying both our heritage and how far we’ve come in just over a century. How did we transform over the years from Dutch coal miners to a global science-based company active in health, nutrition and materials? In fact, DSM’s diversification began as early as 1919 with the opening of a coke plant. Post-1945 this diversification into bulk chemicals and petrochemicals accelerated so that by the time the last mine closed in 1973 DSM was a chemical company. Since the 1990s, during which the company was fully privatised, DSM transformed itself again, selling almost all of its commodity chemicals activities and becoming a global science-based company delivering innovative solutions that nourish, protect and improve performance. , which this year recognizes 56 companies that have had a positive social impact through activities that are part of their core business strategy. in recognition of the company's consistent and longstanding commitment to sustainability.  DSM has been among the global leaders for the past 14 years and number one in the sector seven times. biennial Chinese Nutrition Society’s National Congress in May 2017 DSM was presented with the Society’s Nutrition Promotion and Contribution Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Chinese human nutrition and food and beverage community.
