The new plant in Krefeld-Uerdingen will be designed so that Lanxess can expand its operations in the coming years

Lanxess already operates a polymerization and compounding plant for high-performance plastics in Krefeld-Uerdingen. It was only in March 2018 that the company put a new line for the production of specialty compounds into operation there. With the new investment, Lanxess is once again strengthening the importance of the site for the company.

"Krefeld-Uerdingen is our central production platform for high-performance plastics, especially for the European markets. The expansion will enable us to better serve the continuing high demand from this market region in the future," said Michael Zobel, head of Lanxess' High Performance Materials business unit.

The new plant in Krefeld-Uerdingen will be designed so that Lanxess can expand its operations in the coming years, in line with demand.
