Leading international chemical firms Rainer Brüderle MdB have chosen to locate in Germany. Federal Minister of Economics They were drawn here because of the and Technology highly qualified workforce, state-of- the-art logistics, and well-developed infrastructure available in the country. Germany’s central geographical location at the heart of Europe is a further factor. This opens up access to a market of more than 450 million customers.

This brochure sets out the German concept for modern chemical industry parks. These globally unique, inte- grated production sites provide the ideal business environment for estab- lished and new companies alike. Each chemical park offers a large range of services. The parks’ infrastructures are designed specifically for chemi- cals and they are home to innovative research institutions tailored to the needs of the chemical industry and as- sociated processing industries.
