The dairy ingredients business unit of DSM Food Specialties has announced the acquisition of the food coatings activities of Vaessen Schoemaker, Portugal.


Vaessen Schoemaker’s Vascoplast coatings brand will be retained, expanding DSM’s existing portfolio and providing customers with a wider selection of solutions, together with the backing of a strong brand, the group said.


The acquisition broadens the scope of the DSM organisation and enhances its presence in the Iberian Peninsula. The move fits with DSM’s strategy to expand activity in food coatings across applications including meat and cheese.


DSM said that Vascoplast represents a high quality product line, is a strong brand name and has been well known in the market since the mid 1970s.
