The LANXESS subsidiary is investing EUR 60 million to expand its production site
On May 26, Saltigo GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LANXESS, is now fully implementing its large-scale investment plan to ensure that its synthesis technology remains world-class and fully meets the needs of
customer projects.
Around 60 million euros have been invested in the program to renovate and expand the company's production site
in Leverkusen.
All work is expected to be completed by the end of 2017, when production
of the new equipment will start.
The Central Organics Test Plant (ZeTO) in Leverkusen has two new multi-purpose production lines specially designed with stirred tank reactors with a capacity of up to 16 cubic meters for the production of large quantities of solids
for agrochemical and other industries.
Subsequently, ZeTO will have more than 70 mixing vessels, for which some small plants
have been dismantled prior to the expansion work.
In addition, the investment will set up a container storage tank farm, adding an option for SETUO's large-capacity storage, while making the supply of raw materials and solvents to ZeTO and its adjacent Plant 4 (FFK Workshop) more efficient
.
In addition, tank containers stored here can be filled or emptied
via a pipe directly connected to the production plant.
The plan also includes a reserved area for further expansion of storage capacity and connection of more facilities
in the future.
