Frankfurt a. M., 19.09.2022 - Haltermann Carless, a leading international supplier of solutions for high-value hydrocarbon specialties, inaugurated the hydrogenation unit at the Speyer production site in Germany with an official ribbon cutting ceremony. Around 50 guests from politics, representatives of government agencies and chemical associations, the fire department and neighbouring and partner companies joined the event.
In his opening speech, Henrik Krüpper, CEO of HCS Group, thanked all those involved in the realisation of the project. "The hydrogenation plant is a milestone for our production site in Speyer, and an important contribution to sustainability and innovation," explained Henrik Krüpper and added: "Besides the production of high-purity products, such as those required for pharmaceutical applications, the hydrogenation unit enables the development of new products and the expansion of other innovative business areas, such as the production of sustainable aviation fuels. In this way, we secure our competitiveness on the international market and at the same time contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions with sustainable technology development and continuous investments.”

In this way, the company is expanding its position as the world's leading manufacturer of Cyclopentane - an important additive for insulating materials, for example for building insulation. In the future, the hydrogenation unit will produce new grades of products, with a high degree of purity, for the pharmaceutical, electronics, printing ink and construction industries.
