dsm-firmenich announced two product and production developments during the week of November 9 to 13, 2026. The updates add capacity in industrial ingredients and broaden the group's animal nutrition offering.

New resin capacity in France

On November 9, 2026, dsm-firmenich announced the production ramp-up of a new unit at its Vielle-Saint-Girons site in southwestern France. The facility was commissioned during the first half of 2026 and produces hydrogenated bio-based resins and derivatives for adhesives, automotive applications, road signage, coatings, paints and chewing gum.

The unit operates within DRT Industry Ingredients and uses pine-based rosin. The company said the expansion will support customers in Europe, North America and Asia while increasing the commercialisation of the DRT Foral and Staybelite resin ranges.

Feed additive targets swine stress

On November 10, 2026, dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health announced MaxiFicient Shield, a feed additive intended to help pigs manage stressful situations and reduce aggressive behaviour. The product will be introduced in selected markets across Europe, the Middle East and Africa in the coming months, with availability varying by market.

The company cited evaluations showing lower stress indicators, including a reduction in tail biting in one study and lower salivary cortisol after a social stress challenge in another. The launch gives investors a further view of the group's product activity beyond its industrial ingredients portfolio.
