Lanxess subsidiary to boost soling material production

16/10/2013
Bond-Laminates, a subsidiary of specialty chemicals company Lanxess, is to expand production capacity for its Tepex lightweight plastics, which are used for the soles of football boots.

The company’s Brilon site in Germany will be enlarged by 1,300m2, or approximately 75%, by summer 2014.

 “Lanxess' outstanding ties to different industries and markets have given us access to new segments,” says Jochen Bauder, co-managing director of Bond-Laminates. “With this expansion we can meet the demand of our customers for innovative, lightweight materials even better and cater even more effectively to their needs.”

Bond-Laminates was founded in Brilon in 1997 and currently employs around 100 people. Lanxess acquired the company in September 2012.
