In order to improve baked goods, the workspace also gives dsm-firmenich clients on-site access to a team of bakers, product developers, technical experts, applications scientists, and other specialists.
USA – dsm-firmenich, a major ingredient solutions company, recently celebrated the completion of its most recent significant investment, the new Princeton Baking Innovation Center.
The facility, which is equipped with cutting-edge baking equipment, is designed to assist the company’s clients with production solutions for breads, rolls, pastries, tortillas, cookies, and snack items.
“Our new Princeton Baking Innovation Center underscores our ambition to bring progress to life by empowering our customers to create bakery products that not only taste incredible but are also healthier and sustainably produced. This facility is a game changer, allowing deeper collaboration and innovation at an unprecedented speed and scale,” said Chris Perkins, senior VP, taste, texture and health North America at dsm-firmenich.
The facility is a component of the business’s almost US$800 million commitment to expand its global R&D capabilities. Princeton was selected because of its closeness to important clients, business associates, and transit hubs.
“The Princeton Baking Innovation Center builds on dsm-firmenich’s decades of baking expertise in North America. It equips our customers and passionate team of experienced baking technologists with the tools to break new ground in delicious, nutritious, and sustainable baked goods. With innovation and agility at its heart, this facility is uniquely positioned to help solve our customers’ most pressing challenges, delight consumers, and support our customers’ product and brand growth,” said Renee Riegman, sales director, baking, confectionary, ingredient processing North America at dsm-firmenich.
On April 20, 2023, Royal DSM and the Swiss business Firmenich merged to establish DSM-Fimenich. Over 60 nations are home to the more than 300 DSM-Firmenich facilities. The corporation made a turnover of €12.8 billion (US$14.4 billion) in 2024.
The company’s activities are divided into four parts including the Perfumery & Beauty (P&B) segment that deals with raw materials for personal care products, and the Health, nutrition and care (HNC) segment that deals with health products especially in the field of nutrition.
The other segments include the Taste, Texture and Health (TTH) segment that is concerned with Food and Beverage Ingredients, and the Animal Nutrition and Health (ANH) segment that deals with animal feed ingredients and health.
Despite HNC being the smallest of the four activities in terms of turnover, turnover is fairly evenly distributed across these four activities. DSM-Firmenich decided to divest the ANH business unit in February 2024.
