Saltigo undertakes major expansion of production

摘要

SALTIGO, a wholly owned subsidiary of specialty chemicals group LANXESS, is significantly expanding production at its Leverkusen site. This is being made possible by a cooperation agreement that is so far unique for the Group. Syngenta, a leading manufacturer of crop protection agents and long-standing customer of Saltigo, is investing some EUR 50 million in expanding several Saltigo facilities in Leverkusen to significantly enhance its capacity for synthesizing active ingredients for crop protection agents. Saltigo supplies the active ingredients and intermediates produced at these facilities exclusively to Syngenta and is one of the Swiss group's strategic partners throughout the world.
