About
Kenneth Due Nielsen
R/D & Laboratory Manager
My journey in the chemical industry began over 30 years ago, and today, I’m proud to lead both the laboratory and quality department at DST-CHEMICALS. I’m responsible for ensuring that everything from raw materials to finished products lives up to our high standards – and that what we send out the door is exactly what we promise our customers. I also oversee legislation and compliance, and as Head of R&D, I make sure we always have the right solutions on the shelf.
With a background as a cand.scient. in analytical chemistry and more than 10 years of hands-on experience producing cleaning agents, I bring a deep understanding of both chemistry and the practical challenges our customers face. I’ve worked with metal surfaces for many years and know how important it is to combine cleaning performance with chemical care – especially when dealing with low pH and the risk of hydrogen embrittlement.
That’s why I take pride in what we do at DST. We develop products that clean effectively at lower temperatures, extend bath life, reduce water waste, and help cut energy consumption. These are not just cleaning solutions – they’re products designed with lower environmental impact and cost-efficiency in mind. As ESG requirements continue to grow, we’re ready – but we also know that it’s a constant balance between performance, price, and environmental responsibility.
What keeps me motivated is that I have a job where I feel I truly contribute – to the growth of our company and to the industry at large. I know our products work because I’ve been part of developing and testing them, and I take pride in the quality we deliver every day.
My goal? To keep pushing forward. To help our customers solve challenges in smarter and more responsible ways. And to continue playing a key role in shaping the future of our field – together with colleagues, partners, and customers.
