New production plant for membrane filtration technology in Saxony-Anhalt
LANXESS is currently building a new chemical plant at its site in Bitterfeld-Wolfen. This marks the specialty chemicals group’s move into a new segment of the water treatment business. Groundbreaking-ceremony took place on January 21, 2010.
The company is investing a total of around EUR 30 million in this pioneering project. The State of Saxony-Anhalt supports this project by up to EUR 6 million.
On a long term basis, this project will create 200 new jobs at the Bitterfeld site. The new plant is scheduled to come on stream for a pilot and development phase towards the end of this year. As things stand today, the first products should be launched on the market in 2011.
An area totaling some 4,000 square meters has been set aside for the creation of high-tech laboratories, logistics areas, offices and a new, state-of-the-art production facility.
