Evonik has invested in its German operations with new large-scale industrial plants, capacity expansions and new research centres. The company plans to invest some €2bn in Germany.
The Group is about to start up a new facility for functionalised polybutadienes in Marl, Evonik’s largest site worldwide with almost 7000 employees. The material is mainly used for sealing compounds in double-glazed windows and for adhesives. The investment volume was in the mid double-digit €1M range. Important considerations for the site selection included proximity to key customers and the excellent infrastructure of the Marl Chemical Park.
Recently, a partial facility for crosslinking reagents, which have applications in solar panels and other industries, went into operation in Wesseling near Cologne.
