India wins battle to host new Lanxess facility
31/08/2007
Chemicals company Lanxess is to build its new ion exchange resin plant in the Indian state of Gujarat.
Construction work on the €30 million site at the new Jhagadia Chemical Park near Baroda will begin in the second quarter of 2008. Production is scheduled to start at the beginning of 2010 when the total number of new employees will reach 200.
Sites in China, India and Singapore were all in competition to host the new facility. Lanxess said it had chosen the Jhagadia Chemical Park in India because it already has an excellent industrial infrastructure in place.
