    Evonik to Divest Lülsdorf Chemicals Site

    Various potential investors have already expressed interest in the chemical site.

    Evonik intends to divest its Lülsdorf site in the medium term. More detailed plans will be drawn up by spring 2022. The aim is to transfer the entire site to a new owner, although the sale of parts of the business to various interested parties will also be considered.

    The company has decided to take this step amid the regulatory phase-out of alkoxide production in Lülsdorf and in order to create prospects for the employees from an early stage. Various potential investors have already expressed interest in the chemical site.

    "Lülsdorf has proven to be a good location for basic chemicals for decades," said Christian Kullmann, chairman of the executive board at Evonik. "However, with our focus on
    high-margin specialty chemicals, further development of the site doesn’t make sense for us. We have therefore begun the search for new owners, who can best shape the future of the site. Lülsdorf has enormous potential as a site for chemical production."

    Evonik employs almost 600 people at the site, which is south of Cologne. It mainly produces alkoxides, potassium derivatives and - in association with plants in neighboring Wesseling - cyanuric chlorides. The site and its businesses generate annual sales of around €280 million. Its location at the center of the Western European chemical industry as well as excellent logistical links and reliable supply of raw materials make it particularly suitable for the production of high-volume preliminary and intermediate products.

    “The biggest asset is the efficient and experienced workforce that identifies so strongly with the site," said Thomas Wessel, Evonik's chief human resources officer. "It is also in the interests of these employees that we have started a process, which will carefully determine the site's best future owner(s). We will closely coordinate all further steps with the co-determination bodies."

    The business at the Lülsdorf site belongs to the Functional Solutions business line, which is part of the Performance Materials division. Following the planned divestment of the superabsorbents business, the transfer of the site to a new owner is the next logical step in the alignment of Evonik's portfolio to specialty chemicals.

    Lülsdorf has more than 100 years of tradition as a chemical production site. Evonik produces alkoxides - among other things - which are manufactured by means of amalgam electrolysis. From the end of 2027, the operation of this process will no longer be possible due to restrictions imposed by the European Union.
