WeylChem Group launches WeylChem International
New company will offer technologies from a single entity and focus on supply chain optimisation
With a view to creating an integrated supply chain, Weylchem Group formed Weylchem International, located in Frankfurt in Germany, at the start of 2011.
The new company was created to offer the platform’s technologies from a single entity, particularly for custom and toll manufacturing under the brand name WeylChem. The new company will also focus on supply chain optimisation between the ICIG fine chemicals businesses.
WeylChem’s advanced intermediates and reagents continue to be handled by the local legal entities and will benefit from the larger commercial network provided by the new international organization, Weylchem says.
Dr Andreas Maier and Dr Joachim Hackenbruch have been appointed as managing directors of WCI. Paul Vierendeels, Dr Andrea Missio and Bryon Leggett will join the new entity as directors business development.
The Fine Chemicals Platform of International Chemicals Investors (ICIG), WeylChem Group, offers custom manufacturing services as well as advanced intermediates and reagents. WeylChem’s manufacturing sites are located in Germany (Frankfurt & Brunsbüttel), in the US (Elgin), in France (Thann) and in Italy (Trissino).
They provide a wide range of technologies on an exclusive basis for the fine chemicals market. Representative chemistries include phosgenation, Grignard, Friedel-Crafts as well as coupling reactions. Chlorinations are offered on multiple sites, Miteni in Trissino is a leading company in fluorination chemistry and PPC in Thann is a leading company in Bromination chemistry.
