Name
The name DSM is the initialism of the English translation of the company's original Dutch name, De Nederlandse Staatsmijnen (Dutch State Mines). In the 20th century the state owned company operated four coal mines in The Netherlands: Staatsmijn Wilhelmina, Staatsmijn Emma, Staatsmijn Hendrik and Staatsmijn Maurits. In 1973, after the last mine was closed, the company decided to carry the initials as its name.
