LANXESS investing in its French production site for tire rubbers
EUR 30 million investment in Port Jérôme site by 2015
“The production of high performance rubbers in Port Jérôme plays a key role in our global strategy. We support global megatrends with our innovations and technologies. A particular focus here is solutions for sustainable mobility,” said Axel C. Heitmann, Chairman of the Board of Management of LANXESS AG, at a celebration of the site’s 50th anniversary.
The production site in Port Jérôme was established in 1962 by the tire maker Firestone. LANXESS took ownership of the site in 2004, and has since invested some EUR 30 million in the modernization of the plant. Approximately 100 million bales of rubber have been produced in Port Jérôme since the facility was opened 50 years ago.
