Lanxess is investing some €60 million in expanding custom synthesis facilities at multi-purpose production facilities in the Central Organics Pilot Plant (ZeTO) of fine chemicals subsidiary Saltigo in Leverkusen, Germany.
Adaptability — A lot has happened in the world of custom manufacturing since Saltigo was carved out of Lanxess' fine chemicals business in 2006.
"In the future we will be even better positioned to serve our customers as their partner of choice," says Wolfgang Schmitz, Managing Director of Saltigo, in the run-up to this year's Chemspec Europe tradeshow.
Saltigo, the custom manufacturing business of Lanxess' Advanced Intermediates segment, which achieved total sales of €1.5 billion in 2011, has realigned its strategy.
Optimism Springs Eternal - 2011 was a year fraught with uncertainties, and many industries are wearily eyeing the year to come.
Saltigo celebrated its fifth birthday at this year's Chemspec Europe trade show in Geneva.
