Demanding reactions put to work for you

Our plants operate a wide array of chemical reactions, ensuring we can meet the most diverse demands for complex products. All our sites have developed one or more key technologies for which they are recognized as market leaders. Via our integrated set-up across the Group, we can produce at all scales, from lab samples to pilot quantities up to full industrial volumes.
If required, we explore viable alternative synthetic pathways or invest in specific equipment in accordance with your needs to ensure that the appropriate technology is always available.
