Royal DSM is resuming Rovimix® Vitamin A production in Sisseln, Switzerland.

In November 2022, the firm temporarily halted vitamin A production at the site. The challenging cost environment cited in 2022 spans energy, raw materials and process material costs, and continues in 2023.

Restarting production will allow DSM to serve its customers with animal nutrition premix solutions ahead of the shutdown for lifetime extension work planned for the vitamin A line this summer.

The ongoing geopolitical and economic turbulence highlights the importance of maintaining a resilient vitamin supply which plays a critical role in food security.

The company said it “is committed to the sustainable production of the highest quality feed additives, including the longstanding Rovimix® product range, with a strong production base in Europe, in alignment with the company’s aim to generate sustainable profitable growth.”
