Brenntag Schweizerhall collaborates with Bayer Cropscience and Infrapark Baselland in Muttenz, Switzerland

Brenntag Schweizerhall AG, the Swiss subsidiary of the world market leader in chemicals distribution, is pleased to announce a co-operation with Bayer CropScience and Infrapark Baselland. Brenntag will invest into a new location with a sulfuric acid dilution plant and relocate to the Infrapark industrial park. This plant and a newly installed pipeline to Bayer CropScience, also with a location at Infrapark, will allow Brenntag to supply diluted sulfuric acid to Bayer just in time.

“This system creates synergies for all participating companies,” remarks Wolfram Heymann, Managing Director of Brenntag Schweizerhall AG. “Bayer focuses on its core area of expertise and we pool our outputs, while Infrapark Baselland gains a new tenant.” Renaud Spitz, Head of Infrapark Baselland adds: “This settlement is a good example of how our chemical industrial park supports the principal of networking. Synergies can be used and in this case logistics costs decreased. Furthermore, the know-how and experience of our employees can be cross-linked.”

With this plant and the newly built tanks, Brenntag in Switzerland is concentrating its sulfuric acid activities at a single site. In addition to supplying Bayer, Brenntag Schweizerhall plans to relocate other products from its standard range to the space it rents at Infrapark and to install additional pipelines and tanks there.
