The Ion Exchange Resins business unit belongs to the Performance Chemicals segment, which achieved total sales in 2006 of EUR 1,812 million.
The Asia-Pacific region is of crucial significance for LANXESS. With sales increasing to EUR 1.23 billion, Asia accounted for nearly 18 percent of the Group's sales in 2006. Driving this growth are the Chinese and Indian markets, where double-digit increases in sales were recorded.
The Leverkusen-based chemicals group has inaugurated five new plants in China as part of the “LANXESS goes Asia” strategy launched in April 2006. The company also plans to hire up to 1,000 new employees in Asia by 2009.
