Evonik’s chemical site in Lülsdorf near Cologne now officially belongs to the International Chemical Investors Group (ICIG). The sale of the site, which was announced at the beginning of April, was completed June 30 after the necessary approvals were obtained from the anti-trust authorities, among others. Along with the Lülsdorf site, the associated cyanuric chloride business in Wesseling has also been transferred to ICIG.
The businesses were previously part of Evonik's Performance Materials Division. With their sale, Evonik has implemented the first step in divesting all three parts of the division. ICIG is taking over the more than 600 employees and all production facilities. Extensive protective rights have been agreed for employees.
