Capacity for continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites at Bond-Laminates in Brilon to be expanded

New compounding plant for high performance plastics

The Lanxess High Performance Materials business unit is also investing in its global production network for high performance plastics, and is building a further compounding plant at its Krefeld-Uerdingen site for a sum within the mid-double-digit-million-euro range. Starting in the second half of 2019, Lanxess will produce Durethan and Pocan engineering plastics, which are used primarily in the automotive, electrical, and electronics industries. In addition, a warehouse and a silo facility will be built. Construction will start in the fourth quarter of 2018. The investment will create around 20 new jobs at the Krefeld-Uerdingen site. The new compounding plant will be designed in such a way that Lanxess will be able to expand its operations with further capacities in line with demand over the next few years.
