Particularly strong demand for special-purpose rubbers and high-tech plastics. All 13 LANXESS business units are active in the four countries. One of the key areas of operation is high-performance rubbers and rubber chemicals.

“We supply our rubber specialties mainly to national and international tire manufacturers, more and more of whom are expanding their production capacities in central and eastern Europe,” says Bjoernslev, explaining the planned sales activities.

“The trend is clearly moving towards wider-scale production of high-performance tires. However, there is also demand for LANXESS rubbers among manufacturers of technical rubber goods, cable manufacturers and the construction industry.”

Another cornerstone of the company's operations is high-tech plastics. Around half of the sales of these products in the four countries are generated by customers from the automotive industry.

“Our high-performance plastics open up new possibilities for car manufacturers to develop safe, ecological solutions,” continues Bjoernslev.

LANXESS plastics are an integral part of the car bodywork, for example – helping to make cars safer and more lightweight, not least reducing fuel consumption. The electrical and electronics industry is another key sector that deploys LANXESS plastics.

There is also a strong demand in central and eastern Europe for inorganic pigments from LANXESS. E.g. iron oxide pigments, which are marketed under the brand name Bayferrox, are used primarily in the construction industry for pigmenting concrete parts, paving stones and roofing tiles. They are also used to produce paints and coatings.

LANXESS is a leader in specialty chemicals with 2006 sales of EUR 6.94 billion and around 14,500 employees in 21 countries. The company is represented at 47 production sites worldwide. The core business of LANXESS is the development, manufacture and sale of specialty chemicals, plastics, rubber and intermediates.
