DSM to reorganise Pharma Chemicals in Venlo

DSM will lay off 35 jobs at its Venlo, Netherlands, site in 2010 as part of a reorganisation of its Pharma Chemicals business. DSM plans to introduce a 'lean and mean' manufacturing model and is examining all the activities at Venlo. Activities that do not meet the minimum requirement will be phased out or transferred to the Linz, Austria, site. DSM puts the reorganisation down to "limited demand from pharmaceutical companies, delay in approvals and the loss of some large contracts" which have lead to increasing cost pressure.
