New owner for DyStar site

08/09/2010
One of the production sites to have survived all the upheaval at DyStar over the last 12 months, the plant at Brunsbüttel in northern Germany, is going to be taken over by a rival chemicals manufacturers, CBW Chemie and WeylChem. 
 
The site, which is part of the Bayer Industrial Park in Brunsbüttel, is currently used for the production of mainly reactive dyes. The Brunsbüttel 
site has a reactor capacity of about 2,500 cubic metres for the production of up to 25,000 tonnes of dyes per year.  
 
DyStar plans to transfer most of the production of its reactive dyes to Asia at the beginning of 2012.  
 
All of the 120 DyStar employees who work there will transfer to CBW and WeylChem. CBW will run the site, which will continue to produce dyes for leather manufacture among its range of products.

The DyStar Group and its German assets were acquired by Indian firm Kiri Dyes & Chemicals Ltd on February 3 this year.
