Bayer : Science For A Better Life Japan

Leverkusen is one of the word's most versatile locations for the chemical industry. More than 5,000 chemicals are manufactured here and, if necessary, disposed of safely. Contaminated hazardous waste is handled expertly at our Bürrig waste management plant, which is far from being just a regional facility.

The 470-hectare Leverkusen site offers excellent opportunities for all kinds of companies – from the chemical and pharmaceutical industries to the high-tech sector. More than 5,000 chemicals and pharmaceuticals are manufactured at CHEMPARK in Leverkusen, mainly nitration and chlorination products, aromatics, fine chemicals and silicon chemicals. Around 30,000 people work here, ensuring that the CHEMPARK skills center keeps on developing. Know-how, efficiency and responsibility are key to the success of this Chemical site.

Environmental protection and safety are considered just as important as cost-effectiveness and product quality. The Leverkusen site's safety control center is one of the most modern safety facilities in the entire chemical industry. The site also boasts cutting-edge waste management technology. Thanks to its ultra-modern rotary kiln furnace, the Bürrig waste management plant can dispose of contaminated hazardous waste both safely and efficiently – a service that is unrivaled anywhere in Europe.

The Leverkusen site is also located in a part of Germany where both the standard of living and the quality of life are high – in urban and rural areas alike. It is located close to the major Rhineland cities of Cologne and Düsseldorf, which has the largest Japanese community in Germany. Both cities are important media centers and exhibition venues. With international schools and a superb choice of cultural attractions on its doorstep, CHEMPARK has everything a company and its workforce could wish for.

Around 2,000 different chemical products are manufactured by a total workforce of 9,700 at CHEMPARK Dormagen, making it a site of some stature. Production activities at the largest CHEMPARK site focus on the development and manufacture of crop protection products, polymers, plastics and rubber.

CHEMPARK Dormagen is one of the main providers of employment and training in the Rhineland district of Neuss. Around 150 young people start training here each year. They can choose from 17 different professions. In addition to the development and manufacture of crop protection products, other key activities include the production of polymers, plastics, rubber, isocyanates and organic intermediates.

The CHEMAPARK sets standards throughout Europe with its research and development center for polyurethanes. Environmental protection considerations play a key role in all processes. Over the past few years, emissions have been cut by over four-fifths despite rising production levels.

The transport links to and from this Chemical site could not be better – 570 hectares in size, CHEMPARK Dormagen borders on the Rhine to the east and the A57 freeway to the west. There is also a direct rail link to the central stations of Düsseldorf and Cologne, from where there is easy access to both Cologne/Bonn and Düsseldorf airports. New CHEMAPRK tenants at Dormagen normally find fully networked plots awaiting them.

The proximity to the cultural centers of Cologne and Düsseldorf and the wide variety of leisure and recreational activities along the Rhine make the Dormagen site an attractive location for both work and play.

Benefit from the best. The Krefeld-Uerdingen CHEMPARK site has established itself as a leading location for polycarbonates and polyamides in Western Europe. At 260 hectares, it is also the world's largest production site for inorganic pigments.

One of the Krefeld-Uerdingen site's best-known chemical products is the polycarbonate Makrolon®, one of whose many uses is as a substrate for DVD and CD production. In addition, the roughly 7,000 employees of the various CHEMAPRK tenants manufacture polyurethanes, polyamides, Durethan®, adipic acid and coatings, white and colored pigments and intermediate products for crop protection products, odorants and flavorings. Companies at the site benefit from cutting-edge technical facilities, an excellent infrastructure and a wide range of services.

The CHEMPARK is also one of the largest providers of training in the region. At CHEMPARK Krefeld-Uerdingen, school leavers can choose from a dozen different scientific, technical and commercial training courses. Students and graduates of chemistry and engineering can acquire in-depth specialist knowledge by taking courses at the ultramodern technical training center that involve both training and study. The focus is on combining theory and practice to provide highly qualified new recruits. Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences is also located in Krefeld. The chemical faculty provides one of the most comprehensive choices of specializations in Germany – for both bachelors and masters degrees.

It goes without saying that we combine economic success with responsible care. We optimize our processes with the aim of making them as safe as possible, saving on natural resources and minimizing the impact on the environment. As a result, our tenants' state-of-the-art production complies with all the legal requirements.
