DSM-Firmenich is the world’s largest flavor and fragrance company, formed by the 2023 merger of Firmenich — the Swiss fine fragrance and flavor house — and DSM’s Taste, Texture and Health and Health, Nutrition and Care divisions. The combined entity reported net sales of $9.8 billion in 2025 for continuing operations.
The merger created a uniquely diversified ingredient company spanning perfumery and beauty, taste, texture and health, and health, nutrition and care. Post-merger integration is the defining strategic challenge of 2024-2026. The company has delivered approximately $189 million in cumulative synergies and is now executing the divestiture of its Animal Nutrition and Health business to CVC Capital Partners to sharpen focus on its core F&F and health ingredient businesses.
