The venture has been set up as a cross-manufacturer business-to-business platform for the selling and purchasing of chemicals.
Making the announcement, Matthias Zachert, chairman of the Lanxess board of management, said: “Developing new business models is an important element of the Lanxess digitalisation initiative. With CheMondis, we have launched a digital marketplace that specifically targets the needs of the chemicals industry.”
CheMondis will initially offer around 500 products from various suppliers. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lanxess, with its own workforce at the company’s headquarters in Cologne.
Sebastian Brenner, managing director of CheMondis, said: “In the development of CheMondis, we have consistently focused on the needs and wishes of our customers. The result is a highly modern and reliable online marketplace where chemical products can be traded. After only a few weeks, more than 200 companies have already registered. Here we are combining profound knowledge from the chemicals industry, a startup spirit and a high level of technological expertise.”
