ZWOLLE, the Netherlands – DSM Coating Resins, a business unit of Royal DSM N.V., has outlined plans to align the organization to focus on its core coating and graphic arts resins markets. As part of these plans, the business unit aims to capture additional synergies from the merger of two business units (formerly known as DSM Powder Coating Resins and DSM NeoResins+) announced earlier this year.

At the same time, DSM plans to improve the financial performance of this newly formed business unit. As a result of the alignment, the number of worldwide positions at DSM Coating Resins will be reduced by 150 FTE.
