“We are gaining further momentum on our growth course. The businesses of Emerald Kalama Chemical are an ideal fit for us. We will further strengthen our Consumer Protection segment and open up new application areas with strong margins, for example in the food industry and animal health sector. In addition, we will also enlarge our presence in our growth region of North America. All this will make us even more profitable and stable,” said Matthias Zachert, Chairman of the Board of Management of LANXESS AG.
Emerald Kalama Chemical employs approximately 500 employees worldwide and runs production sites in Kalama, Washington (USA), Rotterdam (Netherlands) and Widnes (Great Britain). Emerald Kalama Chemical generates around 45 percent of its turnover in North America. “Emerald Kalama Chemical has a very efficient setup, bundling all its production activities at only three sites. That is why we expect to integrate the new business very quickly,” said Zachert.
Chemical Market has been in the industry since almost 40 years. We owe our success to you and since the last few years things have been crazy for the world at large. The editorial independence has never been more important.
Our articles and press releases come from reliable sources and we keep delivering high impact trustworthy news, reviews and technical articles and reports free from commercial or political influence.
We believe everyone deserves equal access to accurate news and there are many news aggregator sites but we don't participate in those as they have a very broad criteria where not all news articles sites can participate and not all of them are true articles written for the purpose of knowledge but mostly are commercialized. We bring you news and information in the chemical industry and provide vital information to make decisions based on fact and not fiction.
