In July, DSS will leave DuPont to become a stand-alone company. DuPont is selling it to the Swiss private equity firm Gyrus Capital for an undisclosed amount as part of a program to divest 10% of its portfolio.
DuPont executives are jettisoning businesses they don’t see as having high growth potential. Davide Vassallo, DSS’s global managing director, begs to differ. He sees a lot of growth ahead as DSS expands beyond its historical practice and rolls out new technologies.
DSS is surprisingly large. It generated about $170 million in revenues in 2018 and employs 600 consultants, in addition to more than 200 contractors. About 60% of DSS’s practice is risk management, the shoe-leather work of inspecting clients’ facilities and making safety recommendations.
陶氏杜邦公司特种产品部表示,将剥离杜邦可持续解决方案(DSS)业务,以创立一个全新独立的全球性经营管理咨询公司。
新公司将由现有的DSS管理团队来领导和运营,并得到瑞士日内瓦投资公司Gyrus Capital的支持。
这笔交易预计将于2019年7月完成。
这家新公司将保持与杜邦牢固的联系。该公司在一份声明中表示,DSS将保留与所销售的服务相关的知识产权,并将在一段时间内继续使用“杜邦可持续解决方案”的名称、杜邦的logo、知识库、网站、权限和资源等。
DSS将继续致力于帮助全球客户提高安全绩效,降低风险,提升运营绩效。
DSS在全球拥有600多名咨询顾问和行业专家,为60多个国家的客户提供服务
