strategische Produktentwicklung wollen wir unseren bestehenden und potentiellen neuen
Kunden Mehrwert bieten. Wir gehen hierbei von einem weltweit kontinuierlich wachsenden
Bedarf von jährlich rund 4 bis 5 % aus. Der Ausbau von Loxstedt ist somit von großer
Bedeutung und kommt zum richtigen Zeitpunkt", erläuterte Dr. Intarajang Kongkrapan,
Vorstandsvorsitzender von Emery Oleochemicals. „Mit unseren Investitionen, unserer
weltweiten Präsenz sowie Innovationskraft und Marktkenntnis optimieren wir so die
Zusammenarbeit mit unseren Kunden, um den rasanten Geschäftsentwicklungen für

Das TDC Loxstedt wird darüber hinaus die Rolle als globales Exzellenzzentrum für das
Geschäft mit Grünen Kunststoffadditiven von Emery Oleochemicals einnehmen. Der
Kundenservice wird durch die Bündelung der vorhandenen Kapazitäten und durch die
enge Verzahnung der Anwendungsentwicklung mit dem globalen Netzwerk deutlich
erhöht. Das Labor wird auf hohem Standard eingerichtet, in dem ein engagiertes Team
arbeiten wird. Die global bestehenden technischen Servicezentren des Unternehmens
werden dabei die globalen Aktivitäten ergänzen.

Chemiewerk wird erweitert
Loxstedt. Der global agierende Chemiekonzern Emery Oleochemicals investiert in
Loxstedt 20 Millionen Euro in einen Turm zur Erweiterung der Produktion und ein
neues Forschungs- und Entwicklungszentrum. Seit 2009 ist das ehemalige
Neynaber-Werk in den malaysischen Konzern eingebunden. Nach dem Brand im
Loxstedter Chemiewerk im vergangenen Oktober gilt die
bisher größte Investition am Standort als gutes Zeichen
für dessen Zukunft.
Von Barbara Fixy
So soll der Turm aussehen, der die Produktion im Loxstedter
Werk erweitern soll. Darstellung Emery Durch die Investition
wird der Standort auch innerhalb der globalen
Unternehmensstrategie auf dem Weg zum führenden
Anbieter für Grüne Polymeradditive gestärkt. Diese chemischen Zusätze werden in
Loxstedt hergestellt, sind für die Verarbeitung von Kunststoffen unerlässlich und werden
sogar auf Basis nachwachsender Rohstoffe wie Raps- oder Kokosöl hergestellt.
Zum ersten Spatenstich hatte sich nicht nur die Belegschaft bis auf einen kleinen harten
Kern unter die Gäste vor dem Werkstor gemischt. Der Vorstandsvorsitzende des
Konzerns, Dr. Intarajang Kongkrapan aus Malaysia, ließ es sich auch nicht nehmen, beim
ersten Spatenstich zusammen mit dem Generalmanager des Konzerns in Europa, Hans
Peter Eckardt aus Düsseldorf, dem Loxstedter Werksleiter Wilhelm Reiners und
Bürgermeister Detlef Wellbrock (parteilos) beim ersten Spatenstich eine Schippe Sand in
die Hand zu nehmen.
Kongkrapan betonte, welch hohes Ansehen das Loxstedter Werk und seine engagierte
66-köpfige Mannschaft im weltweit agierenden Konzern genießen, der 1000 Beschäftigte
zählt und Niederlassungen in Asien, Europa und den USA hat. „Loxstedt ist das Herz der
Grünen Polymeradditive“, sagte der Emery-Vorstandsvorsitzende.
Als Meilenstein in der Entwicklung des Konzerns bezeichnete der Direktor für Forschung
und Entwicklung, Dr. Alfred Westfechtel, den ersten Spatenstich für das
Page 4 of 41

Entwicklungszentrum, das eine Art Vorreiterrolle im Konzern einnimmt. Das Zentrum in
Loxstedt soll Teil eines globalen Netzwerks der Emery-Gruppe werden, in dessen
technischen Bereichen die Marktbedürfnisse in den wesentlichen Regionen ermittelt
werden sollen. Standorte im amerikanischen Cincinnati, Malaysia und seiner Hauptstadt
Kuala Lumpur befinden sich ebenfalls in der Entwicklung.
Bürgermeister Wellbrock erinnerte an die Anfänge des Chemiewerks Neynaber 1902 in
Loxstedt. Er hob die preisgekrönte Zusammenarbeit des Werks mit der Loxstedter
Feuerwehr und seine Bedeutung als Arbeitgeber hervor. Werksleiter Reiners zeigte sich
überglücklich über die Investition. Generalmanager Eckardt aus Düsseldorf bescheinigte
ihm, dass Loxstedt mit dem Entwicklungszentrum und dem Turm zur
Kapazitätserweiterung so gut aufgestellt sei wie kein anderer Standort im Konzern.
Vorstandsvorsitzender Kongkrapan aber machte ein besonders herzliches Kompliment:
„Willi, du und dein Team – ohne euch wären wir nicht da, wo wir heute sind.“

Emery expands bioadditive production in Germany, making palm
oil push
By PlasticsToday Staff
Malaysian biochemical company Emery Oleochemicals is investing €20 million
(US$25million) in its Loxstedt, Germany site, expanding manufacturing and adding
Technical Development Centre (TDC) for its biobased additives, Loxiol and Edenol.
"Through our Loxstedt expansion projects, Emery Oleochemicals looks to extend its
existing technical know-how in developing high-performance plastic additives and
growing its portfolio in additives, including those for the coatings and lubricant industries,"
an Emery spokesperson told PlasticsToday. The company's current annual global
production capacity is 1 million tonnes.
Loxiol and Edenol are predominantly made from natural-based feedstocks such as tallow
and vegetable-based oils. Loxiol can be used as a release agent, or in anti-blocking and
anti-fogging functions, among others.
The spokesperson noted that within the industry it is widely used as both an internal and
external lubricant. Edenol is primarily a plasticizer used to soften rubber and PVC.
The expansion is scheduled for completion by the end of 2013 and is partially in response
to annual growth in plastic additives consumption of 4%-5% worldwide, according to
Kongkrapan Intarajang, group CEO, Emery Oleochemicals.

EMERY OLEOCHEMICALS Raising green additives capacity in
Underlining its commitment to becoming a leading green polymer additive player, Emery
Oleochemicals (Shah Alam, Selangor / Malaysia; www.emeryoleo.com) has announced a
EUR 20m investment at its plant in Loxstedt / Germany. The money is to go towards
raising output at the site as well as building a technical development centre there, with
completion of both projects scheduled for late 2013.
The investment is set against the backdrop of a 4-5% global growth in plastic additives
consumption, said company CEO Kongkrapan Intarajang. Aside from raising output of its
natural-based “Loxiol” and “Edenol” high-performance additives, the plans also call for
technologically enhancing the site’s existing infrastructure to allow for the manufacture of
Emery’s existing natural-based product portfolio, including additives, coatings and
lubricants.
“This is both an exciting opportunity and a testament to the importance of our Europe
operations,” said Emery Oleochemicals’ general manager Europe, Hans Peter Eckardt.
Once completed, the technical development centre will serve as the group’s global hub for
green polymer additives and will include state-of-the-art equipment to provide customers
with value-added services.
Emery Oleochemicals operates two production plants in Germany. While the Loxstedt
facility mainly produces specialty solutions, its plant in Düsseldorf turns out both
commodity and semi-commodity products. Most of the group’s chemicals are sourced from
natural oils and fats, including palm kernel oil and tallow. With a distribution network
covering more than 50 countries, Emery Oleochemicals’ 1,000 employees posted
revenues of USD 1.2 bn in 2011.
