Royal DSM, the global Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company, announces
today that it has completed the acquisition of Vitatene S.A.U., based in León
(Spain), a producer of natural carotenoids. The acquisition was announced on 10
May 2011. The acquisition of Vitatene allows DSM to strengthen the natural
carotenoids offerings of its nutrition business as consumer demand for natural
products continues to grow. Financial details of the acquisition will not be

Founded in 2004, Vitatene is a leader in the production and sale of a range of
high-value natural carotenoid products derived from fermentation of the fungus
