Lanxess completes Cologne move

05/09/2013
Leather chemicals manufacturer Lanxess has successfully completed the move of its group headquarters from Leverkusen to Cologne. With its approximately 1,000 employees, it now occupies the Lanxess Tower at Kennedyplatz 1 in the district of Deutz and will now manage its global business from there. The new group headquarters unites all of the company’s central management functions under one roof for the first time.

“The move has made us more efficient,” said company chairman, Axel Heitmann, at an official inauguration ceremony on September 3. “Particularly against the backdrop of our current situation, the concentration of our forces in the Lanxess Tower is incredibly important. We intend to carry on with our success story and the new headquarters will certainly play its part.”

He highlighted the up-to-date technology available to the company in the new building, but also its “sustainable and responsible architecture” and excellent transport connections. Furthermore, the city is a renowned academic and research centre, making it a magnet for top talent.
