Royal DSM, a global science-based company active in Nutrition, Health and Sustainable Living, plans to open the industry’s only premix manufacturing facility built exclusively for the maternal and infant nutrition market. Construction of the state-of-the-art plant is due to start shortly. Located in Buk, Poland, the investment is expected to double production output at the site within the next two years. Financial details are not being disclosed.

“At DSM, we are always looking for new ways to innovate and help our customers to create market-leading nutritional products for mothers and their babies,” says Frédéric Boned, Vice President EMEA, DSM Nutritional Products Human Nutrition & Health.
