Athens 2004 & Turin 2006

During the Athens 2004 Olympics, the world saw the introduction of the first products to emerge from the innovative partnership between DSM and NOC*NSF: the recovery product PeptoPro®, heat-regulating rowing garments and a revolutionary rowing helmet.

Ever since its introduction, PeptoPro® has been a great success, with a large number of athletes using it as part of their workout regime. For more information on how PeptoPro® works, please visit the PeptoPro® website.

The innovative heath-regulating rowing garments and rowing helmet that were introduced by DSM paid dividends, with The Netherlands winning a total of 3 rowing medals at the Schinias Olympic Rowing and Canoeing Centre.

During the Turin Winter Olympics in 2006, DSM came up with innovations for the Dutch bobsleigh, including shock absorbers that maintain their dampening properties at a range of different temperatures.

This was the start of DSM’s innovative partnership with bob sleighing, which resulted in many more innovations for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. For more information on this, please click here (PDF, 84 Kb).
