LANXESS has had a sales company in Singapore for some time which is responsible for the marketing and sales activities of most of the business units in the whole of southeast Asia.
The location is of major strategic importance to LANXESS as a hub for sales and marketing in the entire region and is crucial to profitable growth in Asia. “The ready availability of information technology ensures that we can conduct our business in Singapore efficiently.
Other deciding factors are Singapore's stability and its excellent geographical situation,” says Jürgen Hackenbroich, head of Marketing Asia-Pacific in the Leather business unit who, like Paus, is also transferring from Hong Kong to Singapore.
A further advantage is Singapore's port, which has the shortest turnaround times worldwide for loading and unloading ships. It also has a huge capacity: it is used each year by a total of 140,000 ships belonging to 200 shipping lines with connections to 600 ports in 123 countries.
Around one fifth of the world's container traffic is handled via Singapore. “These excellent logistical conditions are crucial to ensuring that LANXESS can supply its customers quickly and reliably,” adds Hackenbroich.
LANXESS is a leader in specialty chemicals with sales in 2007 of EUR 6.61 billion and currently around 15,200 employees in 21 countries.
The company is represented at 44 production sites worldwide. The core business of LANXESS is the development, manufacture and sale of plastics, rubber, intermediates and specialty chemicals.
