(Lanxess) -- German specialty chemicals
company and synthetic rubber pioneer Lanxess has received the Michelin
Supplier Award 2010 from Michelin SCA, Clermont-Ferrand, France. With this
accolade, awarded by the global tire corporation for the first time this year,
the Michelin Executive Committee wants to recognize partners that have helped
the company in a special way to achieve its high quality goals, and that are
exemplary in meeting Michelin's high standards.
“We consider it a great honor to be one of the winners of the first
Michelin Supplier Award,” said Dr. Joachim Grub, head of the Lanxess Performance
Butadiene Rubbers business unit, at the official award ceremony in France on
June 15, 2011.
“Tire industry experts rightfully view Michelin as one of the major
technology leaders in the field. The company stands for innovation and
sustainable mobility,” Grub continued. “And both of these keywords relate
closely to the capabilities of modern, high-performance synthetic rubber, such
as neodymium-polybutadiene rubber (Nd-BR). Lanxess is the only supplier to
produce this critical rubber raw material in three global regions. Furthermore,
Lanxess not only markets the material, it also works to advance it to an even
higher level and, more importantly, to tailor it to the specific needs of
demanding partners such as Michelin.”
Lanxess is a leading specialty chemicals company with sales of EUR 7.1
billion in 2010 and currently around 15,500 employees in 30 countries. The
company is at present represented at 46 production sites worldwide. The core
business of Lanxess is the development, manufacturing and marketing of plastics,
rubber, intermediates and specialty chemicals.
