Leverkusen, Germany - Lanxess AG is to realign its Technical Rubber Products (TRP) business unit with effect from 1 July. The business unit will be subdivided worldwide into business lines according to products. Lanxess said it wants to take account of varying developments in products and markets to an even greater extent.
Pricing, operational and strategic volume flows and resource allocation will be decided upon by the business lines themselves, independently of one another. In line with the global drive to encourage individual responsibility for sales, costs and results, this should facilitate greater freedom to act and even more flexibility, said the company.
EPDM activities will be headed by Robert Gnann, who is also managing director of Lanxess Buna GmbH in Marl, Germany.
NBR/E-SBR activities (including emulsion rubber TRP) will be managed by Uwe Westeppe, site manager and Directeur Général of Lanxess Emulsion Rubber, La Wantzenau, France since 1 June, 2007.
The CR business Line (polychloroprene) will be led by Gerd Deimel, currently head of marketing Europe/LATAM.
The Specialties business line (HNBR, EVM and future new products) will be headed by Stephen Pask, currently head of APD.
Customers who order several TRP products wil continue to have only one contact. The marketing & business services department headed by Jürgen Gunther will look after sales for all the business lines.
