Recent Development

• In October 2021, Specialty chemicals manufacturer Evonik revealed that it intends to shut down its Lülsdorf, Germany, facility for producing basic chemicals.  The search for the new owner of the entire facility is still ongoing, according to the company statement. However, the company is also looking at other options for selling off a portion of the company. Lülsdorf has been an excellent location for basic chemicals for decades, according to Christian Kullmann, chairman of the company's executive board. But the company's primary focus is on specialty chemicals with higher profit margins. It makes no sense for the business to expand the site further. As a result, Evonik has begun searching for new proprietors who can best influence the site's future.  As a location for chemical production, Lülsdorf has enormous potential.
