About DuPont

Founded in 1802, DuPont puts science to work by creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere. Operating in approximately 90 countries, DuPont offers a wide range of innovative products and services for markets including agriculture, nutrition, electronics, communications, safety and protection, home and construction, transportation and apparel.

DuPont is a major player in global markets, and is going where the growth is, with new technology centers and manufacturing capability in India, China, Latin America and Eastern Europe. Pioneering work in agriculture and nutrition, biotechnology, and a rapidly expanding portfolio of sustainable materials, makes DuPont a formidable global competitor.

On 13 May 2011, DuPont’s offer to acquire Danisco was approved by the shareholders of Danisco A/S. This marks the beginning of a new era for Danisco, and its industrial biotechnology and enzymes division Genencor, as they are now part of DuPont.

Danisco’s and Genencor’s attractive industrial enzymes and specialty food ingredients businesses have clear synergies with the DuPont Applied BioSciences and Nutrition & Health businesses. This combination advances both companies' global efforts to provide sustainable solutions to a growing global population, particularly in the areas of food, bioenergy, biochemicals and biomaterials. . Together, we will be a world leader in industrial biosciences and nutrition and health.

Both organizations operate with strong core values and a sharp focus on delivering innovation and exceptional customer value. We are already providing customers the solutions they need, and now we stand even stronger.

Together, we can accomplish what no one can do alone.
