On 7 August 2012, DSM announced it will scrap 1000 jobs worldwide, of which 400 in the Netherlands.
The company's CEO Feike Sijbesma stated that the restructuring is necessary to reach the business goals for 2013. DSM has become more pessimistic about the prospects for the chemical industry, especially in Europe.
The timeline for the restructuring is to be announced.
