LANXESS moves inorganic pigment blending operations
Chemicals company LANXESS Corp., Pittsburgh, a manufacturer of synthetic rubber, engineered thermoplastics and chemical intermediates, has moved its inorganic pigment blending operations from Imperial, PA, to a new custom- built facility at Starpointe in Washington County, PA.
The custom-built facility was specifically configured to fulfill LANXESS's blending needs, contributing to operational savings through optimum raw-material flow and more-efficient production. Additionally, LANXESS is able to retain its current workforce of 20 people due to the relative proximity of the new site to both the old site and the LANXESS Corp. headquarters building in Findlay Township.
LANXESS Corp. was formed when the Bayer Group combined most of its chemical businesses and large segments of its polymer activities. The company began operating as a legal entity in the US on July 1, 2004. LANXESS Corp. is a member of the German LANXESS- Group that was spun off from Bayer in January 2005.
