LANXESS Consolidates Rubber Manufacturing Production

Chemicals group LANXESS streamlines polybutadiene rubber manufacturing production location in Orange, Texas.

The chemicals group LANXESS is to consolidate its North American PBR production in Orange, Texas, from four manufacturing lines down to three, effective January 1, 2006. This move was made possible through continuous productivity enhancements and capacity expansion.

"We are going to take advantage of our flexibility, which allows us to produce SSBR, LiPBR and NdPBR grades on the same lines," explains Dr. Joachim Grub, Head of the Business Unit Polybutadiene Rubber (PBR). "The optimization of our cost structure remains an ongoing challenge in an environment of high energy and raw material costs, especially in the United States," continues Grub.

LANXESS had already announced in the spring that it would upgrade two out of its three production sites so that SSBR, LiPBR and NdPBR could be manufactured on the same production lines.

The PBR Business Unit has manufacturing sites in Port Jérôme, France, Orange, Texas, and Dormagen, Germany. LANXESS is a leading supplier of NdPBR, LiPBR, CoPBR and SSBR. These products are used in the manufacture of tires, high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), golf balls and shoe soles.
