100 years of history
A chemical site with history.
The history of chemical production in Knapsack reflects the dynamic developments in the chemical industry. It is defined by people's inventive spirit, their drive and their ability to take on new challenges. This is the key reason why products that have become part of everyday life in many areas have been manufactured here for over 100 years.
In transition
Nothing is more constant than change.
The Chemiepark Knapsack looks back on over 100 years of industrial development – and has constantly reinvented itself in the process. What once began as a site for energy-intensive large-scale chemical production is now being consistently developed towards the chemical production of the future. A place that demonstrates: transformation is part of the local tradition.
Chemical integration
Synergies in cooperation.
The material network offers its partners many advantages: materials that would otherwise have to be disposed of or transported at great expense are sent directly to the partners at their location. Logistics are reduced to a minimum for everyone. This ensures lower prices and eliminates the risk of loss during transport. It also allows many delivery details arising from day-to-day business to be coordinated directly and easily.
Companies
A strong partnership.
