Chemical triangle with prospects
Many people associate Bavaria primarily with beautiful landscapes and blue skies flecked with white – and unspoiled vacations. Yet in recent decades Bavaria has emerged as a leading industrial state, known throughout the world especially for high-tech products of the chemical, electronics and engineering industries.
South-East Bavaria stands out in the chemical indus- try. Thousands of different products are now manu- factured In ChemDelta Bavaria, the relevant triangle between Burghausen, Burgkirchen/Gendorf, Töging, Waldkraiburg and Trostberg. The chemical industry has shaped life in SE Bavaria for almost a century and remains firmly embedded there. The region cov- ering parts of Altötting, Mühldorf and Traunstein counties is one Southern Germany’s leading eco- nomic bases, and at the same time one of Germa- ny’s strongest trading regions.
ATTRACTIVE LOCATION
Bavaria is at the hub of East-West and North-South trade. EU expansion eastwards made Bavaria still more attractive as a location. No other region in Eu- rope offers better conditions for opening up these up-and-coming markets.
Companies in the Bavarian chemical triangle have recognized this and are exploiting their opportuni- ties. With a workforce of around 20,000, they gener-
ate turnover in excess of ten billion euros, about five percent of the total for German chemical companies. Firms in ChemDelta Bavaria have invested over four billion euros in new production facilities and local in- frastructure in recent years.
NUMEROUS SPECIAL PRODUCTS
The range of products from companies based in ChemDelta Bavaria embraces a great variety of chemicals used to make useful everyday items. These companies originally concentrated on produc- ing goods in bulk, but they meanwhile offer special products. In almost all sectors – from food manufac- turing to pharmaceuticals and consumer goods, to the plastics, engineering, building, automotive and high-tech electronics industries – such products serve as the basis.
Sites and companies receive products, energy and raw materials via numerous pipelines. For this, mu- tual networking was required. This facilitates opti- mal use in the region of energies and resources –
