06-Jun-2012 - Germany

LANXESS Buna GmbH at the Marl Chemical Park, a wholly owned subsidiary of specialty chemicals company LANXESS, can look back on 40 successful years of production at its ethylene-propylene facility. On Saturday, June 2, the company invited its 126 employees and their families to a ceremony at the chemical park's information center to celebrate the production facility's long growth story. LANXESS manufactures high-quality EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene) synthetic rubber in Marl. The temperature-, water- and weather-resistant products manufactured under the Keltan trade name are used in areas such as the automotive, aerospace, construction, electrical and electronics industries.

"We've been able to continuously increase our facility's capacities in Marl throughout the years thanks to the growth in demand for our high-quality rubbers. This clearly demonstrates the excellent product quality we offer our customers here. Within the company, the site serves as a central pillar for our portfolio of high-performance EPDM rubbers," said Thomas Mulder, Managing Director of LANXESS Buna GmbH.

"As site manager, I'm delighted this successful company has production operations at the Marl Chemical Park," said Walter Tötsch, head of Marl chemical park operator Infracor GmbH. "Infracor in its role as site operator has been working with LANXESS Buna GmbH for many years. Through the strategic partnership, our 'Technical Services' unit has been closely integrated into the value-added chain since 2009. As well as know-how in production, a high level of creativity is needed to develop solutions for whole areas of industry over a long period. LANXESS Buna GmbH has managed this very successfully over the 40 years so far. I'd like to congratulate it for this and wish the company, its entire workforce and the Marl site all the best for the future."
