Lanxess to open new Eastern European offices
With the aim of further sales expansion in the growing Central and Eastern European markets, German chemicals company Lanxess has set up a new sales company, Lanxess Central Eastern Europe s.r.o., in Bratislava, Slovakia, and offices in Warsaw, Poland and Budapest, Hungary. Sales in the region have previously been handled by external agencies.
Commenting on the decision to expand its presence in the region, board member Dr Rainier van Roessel said, “The growth markets in central and eastern Europe are of core relevance to Lanxess. With our new company we shall further enhance our market presence and can utilise the potential in this region even more effectively.”
The company will hire around 40 new staff who will be responsible for handling sales for all of Lanxess’ business units in the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia. The company will officially start operations on January 1.
