    4 billion

    On April 20, DSM announced the sale of its protective materials business to Avient for 1.

    The proposed deal includes all of DSM's protective materials businesses, the most important of which is Dyneema, an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, a special fiber 15 times stronger than steel used in demanding applications
    such as ballistic protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure, renewable energy, industrial protection and outdoor sports.

    DSM's protective materials business generated sales of €335 million and EBITDA of €105 million in 2021, including six production facilities, four R&D centers and around 1,000 employees
    worldwide.
    Excluding transaction costs and taxes, DSM expects to receive €1.
    33 billion in cash
    .

    DSM announced in September 2021 that it would explore the sale of its materials business as part of
    the company's plan to focus on health, nutrition and biosciences.
