[title] => Evonik Opens New Polyamide 12 Powder Plant in Marl, Germany
[short_title] =>
[summary] =>
[slug] => evonik-opens-new-polyamide-12-powder-plant-in-marl-germany
[body] => Evonik Industries has opened another production line for specialty polyamide 12 powders (PA 12) of its VESTOSINT brand at its largest global production site in the Marl Chemical Park. The new facility primarily produces high-performance powders for the 3-D printing market, which is expanding heavily with double-digit growth rates.
“Polyamide 12 is part of our strategic Smart Materials growth engine that involves optimizing the performance and efficiency of products with improved materials. We significantly expanded our polyamide 12 powder plant in Marl in order to support the development of future-oriented technologies such as 3-D printing with innovative solutions,” said Harald Schwager, deputy chairman of the Executive Board of Evonik Industries.
The investment volume for the new VESTOSINT plant is in the mid double-digit million Euro range. With the new plant, Evonik is increasing its existing annual capacities for PA 12 powders by 50 percent. The specialty chemicals company manufactures its high-performance powders from PA 12 granulate in a proprietary process in its integrated production network for polyamide 12 products.
“The new production capacities will enable us to assume an even more prominent role in the global growth of attractive markets such as the coatings industry or 3-D printing,” said Claus Rettig, chairman of the Board of Management of Evonik Resource Efficiency GmbH. “In addition, we are able to develop new customized polymer powders even faster and more flexibly in order to support our customers’ strong growth and thus of our polyamide 12 powder business.”
Evonik markets the high-performance polymer polyamide 12 as a powder under the VESTOSINT brand, for example for coating metals in household goods, dishwasher baskets, in the automotive industry or in medical technology. In addition, Evonik has for many years been engaged in the development of specialty polymer powders that enable the industrial production of high-tech components based on 3-D printing. VESTOSINT stands out for its high quality and is fully optimized for the corresponding 3-D printing technology in terms of processing and property profiles.
Evonik has developed customized high-performance materials for demanding applications for over 50 years. The company is a global leader in the production of polyamide 12 polymers, which are in large demand in highly attractive markets such as the automotive industry, oil and gas production, medicine, or sports.

[title] => AkzoNobel Names Nils Andersen as Next Chairman of Supervisory Board
[short_title] =>
[summary] =>
[slug] => akzonobel-names-nils-andersen-as-next-chairman-of-supervisory-board
[body] => AkzoNobel announced the nomination of Nils Smedegaard Andersen as member of the Supervisory Board with the intention to elect him as chairman following his successful appointment at the Annual General Meeting in April.
This announcement concludes an extensive search and selection process conducted by the Supervisory Board, led by Deputy Chairman Byron Grote and consultation with major shareholders.
Andersen is non-executive director at BP and Unilever, where he serves on the Audit Committees of both companies. Nils was group chief executive of A.P. Møller - Mærsk from 2007 until 2016 and had previously been president and CEO of Carlsberg and Carlsberg Breweries.
"Nils Andersen has a wealth of relevant experience gained during an extensive international career in the consumer goods, energy, and shipping industries,” Grote said. “He will bring this broad business insight to the Supervisory Board as AkzoNobel becomes a focused, high-performing Paints and Coatings company."
"I am excited to be nominated for the role of Chairman of the Supervisory Board and look forward to being able to play my part in the transformation of AkzoNobel and delivering further value creation for shareholders and other stakeholders,” Andersen added.
Andersen’s appointment to the Supervisory Board of AkzoNobel is subject to shareholder approval and as such will be added to the agenda of the Annual General meeting to be held on April 26, 2018.
At the Annual Meeting, Dr. Kurt Bock, the previous chairman of the Board of Executive Directors, presented his successor with a 3D-printed model of a storage tank, on whose outside staircase a BASF employee climbs to the highest point. After the end of the statutory two-year cooling-off period, Bock is to be elected to the Supervisory Board in 2020. Since 2006, Brudermüller has been a member of the Board of Executive Directors of BASF SE, since 2011, vice chairman of the Board of Executive Directors and, since 2015, chief technology officer.
