With the expansion of the Rhenodiv production plant in Jhagadia, Gujarat, Lanxess’ Rhein Chemie business unit has significantly increased its production capabilities. The move will help the firm to meet the growing demand of the Indian Sub-continent and the Asian tire and rubber goods markets.

Mumbai/India – Lanxess has successfully completed and put into operation the expansion of its Rhenodiv production line in Jhagadia, Gujarat on February 1, 2024. With this new facility, the company’s Rhein Chemie business unit has significantly increased its production capabilities and will be able to meet the growing demand of the Indian Sub-continent and the Asian tire and rubber goods markets.

The new production line features state-of-the-art equipment and technology, allowing Lanxess to produce high-quality technology tire release agents more efficiently. The company has another such facility in Argentina as well.

The production of high-performance tires and molded elastomer products rely on the use of effective release agents. Process safety and low scrap rates are key for the efficient production of tires and molded elastomer articles. Rhenodiv release agents are strictly water-based, solvent-free and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and therefore, environmentally friendly.

Commenting on the development, Matthias Zachert, CEO & Chairman of the Board of Management of Lanxess, said, “India is an important region for us and this strategic milestone reflects our commitment towards meeting the growing demands of our valued customers in the region. The new facility not only amplifies our production capacity but also showcases our faith in the immense potential of the Indian market.”
