The MGM had opened its doors to the public in 1912. On display were specimens collected by mining engineers and the TU Delft’s staff and students since the 1840’s. The collection continued to grow until a few years ago when, due to financial and space restraints, the Museum had to be closed to the public. In 2013 the TU Delft was faced with the complete dismantling of the collection and the irreversible closure of the Museum. Then the Alumni came into play. Their reaction was to initiate the ‘Brightstone Project’ – an all-out campaign to find external sponsors to save at least part of the collection for the University and the public.
In 2014, Dietsmann stepped in as the MGM’s ‘legacy sponsor’ with a pledge of sponsorship for the next 10 years. On 4 April 2014 Dietsmann’s President & CEO, Mr. Peter Kütemann, ceremonially handed-over of a check for 1 million Euro – the total amount of sponsorship money collected by four main sponsors for the re-opening of the MGM – to the MGM Foundation’s Chairman, Mr. Duco Drenth.
Dietsmann’s pledge of sponsorship for the next 10 years has enabled the core of the collection, including 25 antique, handcrafted, showcases and mineral displays, to be relocated to the second floor of the TU Delft’s Science Centre at Mijnbouwstraat 120, in the city of Delft. The central area, where over 4,000 different, special and highly valuable specimens will be displayed, will be named the “Dietsmann Hall”. The “new” Mineralogical and Geological Museum (MGM) officially opened on 28 April 2015. The invited guests include the Major of Delft and the President of the University.

DADTCO developed and patented the Autonomous Mobile Processing Unit (or AMPU), a self-contained mobile factory that processes cassava. Cassava is a starchy root crop that is cultivated by millions of smallholder farmers across Africa, but that never has been commercialized in Africa. The AMPU can be moved to cassava production areas to process the very perishable cassava roots into cassava cake (paste). This cassava cake is an intermediate product that has a shelf life of at least six months.
The cassava cake can be used for beer brewing (replacing malted barley), can be dried and milled into high-quality cassava flour and/or can be refined into starch or starch derivatives. Cassava cake contains 45% to 50% less water than the unprocessed roots, which means you can transport three times more cassava cake than roots.
The longer shelf life of the cake, together with its reduced volume, has solved the fundamental bottleneck that has stopped cassava from becoming the preferred source of starch for industrial processors. All smallholder cassava farmers can take their harvested roots to the AMPU and they are all paid the same fair price for their product. The market opportunities opened up by the AMPU enable smallholder farmers to generate an income for the first time in their life. DADTCO’s supply chain has an inclusive and sustainable approach. By pioneering new farming models it has gained in-depth expertise and experience in developing and rolling-out inclusive agricultural value chain concepts that strengthen crop yield performance whilst providing smallholder farmers with a secure market.
Dietsmann has enabled DADTCO to set up the inclusive supply chain and sustainable farmer’s agricultural program. The partnership between Dietsmann and DADTCO has been established ever since DADTCO started processing cassava in Nigeria. The partnership, which is based on mutual trust, enables smallholder farmers to generate an income and thus become self-reliant.

The Association uses the money to support projects such as the Cardio-Thoracic Center of Monaco. Since 1987 the Center has treated patients brought in by humanitarian organizations. Under the Center’s care, children with congenital heart disease not only have a chance of an operation, but are also taken in by foster families until they are well enough to return to their home countries.
The Association has also purchased equipment to help children in the Principality with learning difficulties, provided financial assistance to victims of the Syrian conflict, especially children, who took refuge in Lebanon, supported the social and professional integration of young people from disadvantaged areas, particularly in Senegal, supported the reintegration of street children in Madagascar, and, in cooperation with Fight Aids – a charity chaired by H.S.H. Princess Stéphanie – funded a home for HIV positive children in Carpentras in southern France.
