HEERLEN, Netherlands, Dec. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal DSM, a global purpose-led science-based company, today announces the completion of its acquisition of Vestkorn Milling for an enterprise value of €65m. This acquisition of one of Europe's leading producers of pea- and bean-derived ingredients for plant-based protein products was first announced on 29 November 2021.
Vestkorn Milling supplies the buoyant alternative protein market with proteins, starches and dietary fibers for plant-based foods, pet food and animal feed. These are highly complementary to DSM's broad offering to plant-based food and beverage companies, which includes vitamins, algal lipids and minerals that improve nutritional value; texturizing hydrocolloids; and flavors and yeast extracts as well as enzymes that improve protein taste and functionality.
The acquisition is a further step in DSM's strategy to build an alternative protein business and will provide synergy with DSM's innovative CanolaPRO rapeseed protein isolate, which will commercially launch next year.
