LANXESS celebrates 75 years of production of ion exchange resins for the treatment of water
The history of water treatment is tightly tied to that of Bitterfeld-Wolfen. The city on the Mulde is the birthplace of ion exchange resins, high-performance polymer beads that can be used to remove pollutants from liquids and thus help to improve water quality. Industrial-scale production of the tiny resin beads began for the first time ever in Wolfen 75 years ago.
“The subject of water is one of the central megatrends of our time. Worldwide, clean water is becoming ever more precious, because consumption and the world’s population are increasing constantly. LANXESS delivers innovative products and solutions to meet the challenges of an increasingly difficult water supply situation around the world,” said Rainer van Roessel, member of the LANXESS AG Board of Management, at the anniversary event this Tuesday in Bitterfeld-Wolfen. “We are making targeted use of our know-how to improve the quality of life for people the world over.”
