“Invest in Germany” takes the opportunity, at the International Chemical Fair ACHEMA 2006 in Frankfurt, to present new developments in Germany’s chemical industry.

Chemical Parks and Sites

Emphasis is put on the evolution of new chemical structures within traditional German chemical sites, which are perfectly positioned in the developed European environment. Attractive Chemical Parks for “multi-company”-usage are operated by local service organisations with the ability to conform to the needs of international chemical investors, who seek advantages by integrating infrastructure as well as technical, environmental, and administrative services. Invest in Germany and the VCI*-Sector Group of Chemical Parks and Sites in Germany are proud to highlight the political, structural and economic conditions that shape Germany’s part in the consolidating global chemical industry. A jointly released brochure showcases the world-renowned Chemical Parks in Germany. We invite you to experience the competence edge of these Chemical Parks and their individual portraits. In cooperation with Invest in Germany, Chemical Parks and Companies in Germany are closely working together within networking regional initiatives to present a challenging picture of international Chemistry in Germany.

A DVA N TAG E S O F LO C AT I O N AT A G L A N C E GREAT IMPORTANCE OF CHEMISTRY The chemical industry in Germany has a long tradition and an important role. Across the entire production and value chain, the chemical industry currently provides over 440,000 jobs.

C E N T R A L LO C AT I O N Europe is a major chemical region and Germany plays a leading role in the region. Annual German chemical industry sales exceed Euro 152 billion – an increase of 32 percent over the past ten years. Germany's location in the heart of Europe opens up export chances with short distances to other member states of the European Union and bordering regions.

O P T I M A L T R A N S P O RT L I N K S Germany's chemical regions are located at the crossroads of international transport routes. Deep water harbors in Germany give easy access to international maritime transport. A large number of specialized chemical logistics companies ensure the smooth transport of chemical products, complying with high quality and safety standards.

A DVA N TAG E S O F LO C AT I O N AT A G L A N C E E F F I C I E N T LY L I N K E D ” V E R B U N D ” P RO D U C T I O N Chemical parks and sites are connected to an international pipeline network for raw materials and intermediates, offering almost unlimited possibilities for linked chemical production. Unique value chains are made possible by the wide choice and good availability of chemical substances – with a minimal amount of logistics. S P E E DY L I C E N S I N G P RO C E D U R E S Licensing procedures are completed quickly and hassle free with competent public authorities assisting in the process from a very early stage. Prime examples of the efficiency in which the claims are handled were the licensing of an 800 megawatt gas and steam facility within just 6 months and the licensing of a 100,000 ton biodiesel production plant, with only 13 months passing between the site for the plant being selected and the plant starting production.

WELL-PROVEN SOCIAL PARTNERSHIPS For many years employers and industrial unions in the German chemical industry have been working together in a future-oriented, realistic approach. Flexible payments enable newly settled companies to pay according to requirements. K N OW L E D G E B A S E Managements of chemical parks and sites provide chemical producers with knowledge developed over many decades – for their mutual benefit. In start-up initiatives, managements of chemical parks and sites support young companies toward a successful future.

H I G H LY Q UA L I F I E D STA F F Much importance has always been attached to vocational and advanced training in the chemical industry. This forms the basis for the operation and maintenance of highly specialized, hightechnology plants. Companies can rely on a unique dual system: Vocational schools in chemical parks provide theoretical knowledge, and production companies take care of the practical side of industrial training.

FAC TS A N D F I G U R E S • Total chemical industry sales in Germany in 2005: Euro 152 billion • Sales increased by 32 percent in the period 1995 - 2005 • Total workforce: 441,000 • Fixed asset investment: Euro 5.9 billion in 2004 • Research & development spending: Euro 7.7 billion in 2004 • In 2004 Germany exported chemical products worth over Euro 100 billion • Already many foreign companies benefit from the specific strengthsof Germany as an ideal location for the chemical industry. In 2004 353 foreign-owned businesses employed around 135,000 people and achieved sales of about Euro 50 billion • A particularly strong point of this chemical industry location is the ability to innovate, relying on a unique knowledge base • Further advantages are Germany's central geographic location in the heart of Europe and a market of roughly 200 million consumers within a radius of 500 kilometers

Germany offers attractive sites to investors in the chemical industry. In particular, the integrated sites in the chemical parks facilitate numerous combined possibilities with companies already located here and thus provide cost-cutting synergies. In this way, companies can, for example, obtain feed and intermediate products in the Chemieparks or jointly use technological plants, safety as well as social facilities.

Being offered a complete service from a single source, investors can take advantage of all services from planning, via construction and operation, right through to the maintenance and certification of industrial plants. Services, such as information technology, analytics, logistics, waste water treatment and waste disposal, are also offered at the sites. Investors will find a highly-developed infrastructure specially tailored to the needs of chemical companies.

MARKETING STRUCTURE OF CHEMICAL PARKS AND SITES

Historic chemical companies are faced with increasing global competition, which demands continuous restructuring. New company structures arise that are focused either on global product business or on local infrastructural business. Germany is the for-runner in restructuring its chemical industry into attractive Chemical Parks for “multi-company” usage. More and more Chemical Parks develop new local service organisations to enable producing customers and potential international chemical investors to focus on their core actvities. Chemical site marketing is emphasized on a world wide basis showing the advantages of the local edge of well developed chemical parks in German regions. Network is the slogan! Chemical sites and companies are collaborating within networking initiatives to combine individual goals with joint targets on a regional, state or country level.

Those collaborations can be illustrated by the shell structure of an onion, the core of which is the site or the company. Geographic neighbours working together in regional initiatives can be interpreted as the first shell. ChemCologne is an example for the “Rhineland” region (www.chemcologne.de). ChemSite is the initiative for the “Ruhr” area. Similar initiatives are CeChemNet which comprises the network of chemical sites in the East German chemical triangle (www.cechemnet.de) and ChemCoast, the cross federal state initiative of Northern Germany’s chemical locations (www.chemcoast.de). Many chemical sites, which are not organized in regional initiatives, are located in the RheinMain-Gebiet (the area around Frankfurt) and in the southern part of Germany.

8

On the next higher level in Germany over 40 chemical parks and sites are members of the new German Sector Group of Chemical Parks and Sites (www.vci.de) within the Association of the Chemical Industry (VCI). They work together towards sustainable competitive and attractive production sites in Germany. Recently a close cooperation of the German chemical parks and sites with the federal based initiative “Invest in Germany” was established. In this brochure major chemical parks and sites of Germany introduce themselves by their selfportraits.

A key feature of the operator model adopted by the IPW is that ownership, management and operation of the industrial park are separate items. This ensures transparency and competitiveness for all services provided at the location and therefore more quality and economic efficiency for the benefit of the resident companies. Real estate leasehold schemes round off the options available and guarantee low start-up and operating costs with maximum flexibility for new enterprises. Situated midway between the major cities of Hamburg, Hanover and Bremen, on the north-to-south link formed by the A7 motorway, the Industrial Park Walsrode is the ideal production and services location for the North German market with easy access to northern and eastern Europe.

8 more good reasons for relocating to the IPW: • Reduced “time to market”. Straightforward and rapid permit procedure – competent onsite project management. • Reduced capital investment. Rental and leasehold schemes for real estate. • Reduced logistics expenses. Utilization of existing supply chains. • Optimized human resource requirements. Industry-related services provided by companies with experience in serving SMEs – from recruiting to engineering “on demand”. • Benefiting from a strong community. Advantages due to “economy of size”, rapid integration into the region. • Living and working where others spend their holidays. First-rate amenities like golf (3 km from the Industrial Park), horse riding, five leisure parks in the vicinity, plus indoor swimming baths and spa facilities for fun and recreation. • Only a stone‘s throw to the major cities by car • Still reasonable prices for rental accommodation, buying a property or building from scratch. Every newcomer will find an appealing place to live.

come. With our own power plant on the industrial site we are able to supply electricity at favourable rates. Because we expand the industrial park in line with requirements we can offer industrial infrastructure, developed with state grants, to companies settling here.

The PCK refinery has a processing capacity of around 11 million tonnes of crude oil a year. By international standards the refinery is one of the most modern in the world. In Europe it is a leader in the field of processing costs and margins. Young engineers find jobs here with high technical standards. In Schwedt the future has already begun. For example, the refinery is a leading German and European producer of biogenic fuels. PCK continues to advance towards the expansion of its bio-fuels competence centre with the construction of the world’s first plant for the production of a biogenic light gasoline ether.

There is a climate favourable to industry in Schwedt. Companies settling here can count on the support of the state government. In brief, this means short approval procedures and expert help in submitting applications.

This leadership in expertise is complemented by the settlement in the industrial park of two producers of bio-fuels (bio-ethanol and rapeseed methyl ester), as well as a manufacturer of wood pellets. The refinery is highly flexible. This not only means a high security of supply, but it also makes it possible to provide mineral oil products for further processing in chemical plants at the site. But other production independent of this is also wel-

There are over 70 companies working on the industrial site. Some of them are service-providers for the companies in Schwedt industrial park. So, for example, you can take advantage of the services provided by engineering companies, repair and maintenance firms, construction craftsmen, laboratory and analytics services, industrial cleaning, environmental protection and the TÜV (German Technical Inspection Association). The industrial park benefits from its proximity to Poland and the development of eastern European markets. For example, in 2005 the exports of the refinery alone increased by over a third compared with the previous year. Schwedt is also home to Germany’s most modern paper manufacturer with two paper mills.

BASF Schwarzheide GmbH Sales: 817 million euro Employees: 1.989, an additional 544 people are employed by BASF Group companies and other companies (as of 31 December 2005) Site area: 230 hectares Available area for new investors: 100 hectares Investment volume: 1.3 billion euro Production plants: 20 Contact: BASF Schwarzheide GmbH Site Marketing Silke Pradel Schipkauer Straße 1 D-01986 Schwarzheide, Germany Tel.: +49 (0) 357 526 2 6 75 Fax: +49 (0) 357 526 2 9 77 [email protected] www.basf-schwarzheide.de

The Schwarzheide site merges modern times with experience. In addition it can look back on a tradition of more than 30 years of plastic production and development. Today Schwarzheide is one of the most modern BASF sites in the world. There are 20 plants on the 230-hectare site. Crisscrossing the site are 12 kilometres of streets, 20 kilometres of train tracks and 12 kilometres of pipe bridges. Nestled in the southern part of Brandenburg set against a forested backdrop, this site plays host to nearly 2,600 workers who produce a wide range of products here. BASF has invested euro 1.3 billion in Schwarzheide in recent years. It has thoroughly overhauled and significantly expanded the site, presenting itself with its numerous new plant facilities as an attractive production centre for highly-refined chemicals and plastics. The portfolio of products includes polyurethane base products and systems, crop-protection agents, water based coatings, engineering plastics, dispersions, and Laromer brands.

21

In 2005 three new arrivals decided to invest in the Schwarzheide site, attracted by its proximity to Eastern European markets, the excellent transportation infrastructure, and industriallyfriendly surroundings. Investors also profit from the know-how offered by the BASF Group. They reap the benefits of high-quality services ranging from supply and waste disposal, and research and development, to logistics, security services and an infrastructure which is typical for the Chemical Industry.

BASF counts on the strength offered by its Verbund. This notion greatly inspires the Schwarzheide competence centre, which would like to further hone its profile: Companies in the plastics or chemical sector are particularly welcome to join the team as new arrivals, and for more reasons than just their importance within the value-added chains.

The development of the traditional location of Piesteritz into a leading Agro-Chemical Park forms a focal point of corporate activity of SKW Stickstoffwerke Piesteritz. “It is not without reason that we are counting on substantial and location-specific advantages of Piesteritz with our location development”, underlines Rüdiger Geserick, Chairman of the Management Board. The industrial location near Berlin is situated at the interface of Eastern and Western Europe. Eastern Germany´s two most important rail main lines intersect in the city. Its own industrial port opens up the route to the overseas ports. Having such excellent options at its disposal is just one aspect. Being able to capitalise on them is another. It has a complete industrial infrastructure available. The more than 30-kilometre long own railway network has junctions with the central rail routes and an efficient feeder line. Modern loading and dispatching facilities, both for rail and road transport, fully bring to bear the infrastructural location advantages. This also applies to its own Elbe port.

23

The location includes efficient industrial services, possibilities for joining technologies and reserve capacities with important media. An already available, location-related advance inspection provides significant advantages with necessary environmental approval processes. AMI Agrolinz Melamine International GmbH Linz, Austrian - has, with its German subsidiary, recognised the value of the location and already relocated, as have around thirty other companies. Neckermann Renewables Wittenberg builds the largest biodiesel factories with mill of oil in the world. The Agrochemische Institut e.V. Wittenberg has also had its registered office in the Agro-Chemical Park since 2005. With the establishment of the Agrochemical Institute, an important building block was laid for the AgroChemical Park. SKW Piesteritz is the largest urea and ammonia producer in Germany. Today SKW Piesteritz has a volume of production of more than two million tons per year. Around 600 employees bring a broad range of agrochemical and industrial chemical products onto the market. Around 50% of the sales are generated with modern products for plant nutrition. They were developed in the company’s own research and development department.

The two international airports of Dusseldorf and Cologne are situated at a distance of only 50 and 100 kilometres, resp. The Rheinberg site ideally combines the advantages of urban and industrial congested areas with a high quality of life in a rural area. Product pool and services Integrated supply management is a major advantage of Solvay’s Industrial Park in Rheinberg, i.e. the use of synergies in the fields of raw materials, products, energy and ancillary products. By-products are used as much as possible to make new products on site, and the output of waste is being minimized. A wide range of products is provided through the integrated stock flow and, at the same time, products can be fed into the flow. The companies located on the site are already doing this. For example, the Finnish company Kemira produces ferric chloride with hydrochloric acid from Solvay’s production. The gas specialist Praxair uses energy produced by Solvay in the company’s air separation plant to make

oxygen and nitrogen for the production facilities of the industrial park; the Rheinberg production facilities of the English global ICI Group are supplied with steam and water from Solvay and dispose of their effluent waters through Solvay’s sewage system; and the German esco Company covers its entire demand for demineralized water from Solvay’s production. A planned substitute fuel-based power plant (plastics, wood, paper) will further improve the energy situation on this site. Such a close cooperation and the infrastructural advantages render Rheinberg a preferred site. Furthermore, all necessary specialists and services such as analytics, workshops, education or security and fire brigade are available on site. Solvay Solvay is an international chemical and pharmaceutical company group with headquarters in Brussels and about 30.000 employees worldwide. In Germany Solvay employs some 4,500 people and gained consolidated sales of EUR 1.6 billion in 2005. It has three activity sectors: Chemicals, Plastics and Pharmaceuticals.

The Marl Chemical Park is one of the largest and most fully integrated sites of its kind in Europe – and also the largest site within the ChemSite Initiative. Of a total, 650ha, roughly 60ha of indus-trial land are available to new investors. There are more than two dozen producers on the site, like Degussa, Rohm and Haas, Innovene, Sasol, ISP and Vestolit. At Marl Chemical Park, basic feedstocks like ethylen and propylen are available by pipeline and barge, etc. Marl also boasts a newly upgraded chlor-alkali facility, owned by Vestolit, which feeds its vinyls chain as well as providing chlorine to other users on the site. At the site more than 4000 chemicals are produced ranging from high volume materials such as, styrene, polystyrene, 1-buten, acrylic acid, ETBE and PVC, to speciality products like polyamides and polyesters, plasticisers, surfactants, elastomers and latices. At the heart of the chemical complex lies Infracor, the site operator and service provider. Its role is to ensure that roughly 100 production plants continue to produce no less than 4m tonne of materials every year. Formed in 1998, the 600m turnover company employs some 2800 people at Marl.

31

Infracor operates three power plants – two coaland one gas-fired - at the complex, giving 300MW of electricity generation and 1000 tonne/hr of steam. It also has responsibility for waste management - operating two waste water facilities - logistics, technology and all aspects of health, safety and environmental protection, technical plant safety and site security, telecommunications, facility management and permitting and regulatory affairs. In terms of logistics, that 4m tonne of production leaves the site by train (400 000 tonne/year), road (2.4m tonne/year), barge (900 000 tonne/year) and pipeline (300 000 tonne/year). Infracor manages the site railway, port, pipelines and racks, and also handles storage at the site. It has, for example, recently invested in a major new multi-storey warehouse to serve producers on the complex and is currently expanding the harbour facilities with an extra barge berth. Infracor’s goal is to be ‘the most attractive infrastructure and service provider’ for the companies at Marl Chemical Park and beyond. It has to be competitive and stay abreast of best practice in all that it does, as third party companies are not required to use its services and it always has to compete for business.

The Dorsten/Marl Inter-Municipal Industrial Park is a highly attractive greenfield area within the ChemSite Initiative. It is suitable for downstream production and is likely to appeal to plastics producers, compounders and processors; detergent makers; and companies in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and food processing sectors. Dorsten/Marl has a central location in this region in immediate vicinity of two ChemSite facilities, Marl Chemical Park and GelsenkirchenScholven, with their broadly based range of raw materials (e.g. PE and PP) and services. Therefore the site is well situated for companies in the chemical, processing and manufacturing industries. The site could also be a magnet for automotive component subassembly products, because the Dorsten/Marl Inter-Municipal Industrial Park is just an hour by road from major automotive producers Opel and Ford. Along the value chain this combination of proximity of supply and customer would make just-in-time delivery feasible.

32

Recently the Danish company Genan, worldmarket-leader in industrial recycling of used tires, will build a technical centre in a joint project with Degussa. The new investor was also partly attracted to the site because of the good local universities of applied science. The industrial site is on the Wesel-Datteln canal, which can take barges up to 185m by 11.45m wide a rail link could be used by any company on the site. Steag has several builders of combined heat and power stations waiting in the wings, if new tenants decide they need that much capacity. Smaller users can hook up to the local grid. In addition the site offers high-tech communications by a wireless and fibre optic cable. The 70 ha site has already attracted a Japanese automotive company. This firm used Steag to help it gain approval for its facility. This process took about half the time it would normally take to build on a greenfield site.

The Gelsenkirchen sites in Scholven and Horst are owned by the Ruhr Oel GmbH (ROG) joint venture. ROG is a 50/50 JV between BP and PdVSA of Venezuela. The Gelsenkirchen sites include a 12 Mill. t/y refinery, two naphtha crackers producing app. 1 m tonne/year C2, 600 000 tonne/year C3 and other units. BP is operator of these assets since acquiring Veba Oel in 2002.

developed to the north of this site and should be available in 2007. This extension is a major step for the ChemSite Initiative, removing the barrier of insufficient large land parcels.

Sabic, one of the major producer of polyolefin’s (PE and PP) is also producing at the Gelsenkirchen site with capacity of polyethylene and polypropylene of 850 000 tonne/year.

The most appropriate investors will be those producing derivatives from the range of basic chemicals produced at these locations. BP RP at Gelsenkirchen can supply ethylene, propylene and C4-cut; aromatics, such as benzene and cyclohexane, paraxylene and cumene, as well as hydrogen, methanol, ammonia and solvents.

Today, the facilities at the linked sites form a tightly knit production network, producing many basic raw materials. They are also linked to Marl by pipeline and supply much of its raw materials. Gelsenkirchen is integrated into the Northwestern European ethylene pipeline grid (ARG) and will connected to the planned propylene pipeline grid (U-Line), a European project which will connect the ChemSite locations Gelsenkirchen and Marl Chemical Park with the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp by the year 2008. The sites have area of 480ha, with 30ha available for potential investors. At the GelsenkirchenScholven site, 20 ha of industrial property are available, but an extension of 70ha is now being

34

Now BP and ChemSite will be able to attract large-scale investors who can benefit from the product streams and services offered by the site.

BP and Sabic are actively investing in Gelsenkirchen. BP/ROG have a 180m project under execution to upgrade the environmental performance of an existing cracker and at the same time boost ethylene production by up to 100 000 tonne/year, taking output of the two units to well over 1m tonne/year. In the downstream area, Sabic has already invested 500m in renewing and increasing its PE and PP plant and is evaluating plans to build a 250 000 tonne/year bimodal hdPE plant at Gelsenkirchen.

The energy company Nuon is successfully involved in industry park management in both Germany and the Netherlands. The company is a pioneer and as yet the only independent operator of industry parks in this field of business. The trademark of Nuon Industry Park Management is to dismantle outdated structures and "revolutionise" locations with transparency, efficiency and flexibility. This means the consistent optimisation of costs, technologies and processes. Nuon hereby stands for high reliability, quality, customer-centred partnership and a service mentality. Nuon has been operating the Oberbruch Industry Park in Heinsberg since 2000 and has been responsible for energy supplies and waste disposal in the Niederau Industry Park in Düren since 2004. Nuon has been operating larger industry parks in the Netherlands since 1999, for example the Emmtec Industry & Business Park in the north and the Kleefse Waard Industry Park in Arnhem since 2004.

In order to make the Oberbruch Industry Park fit for the future, for example, Nuon not only carried out an extensive structural adjustment and process optimisation but also developed industrial space for start-ups and expansions of resident companies. Supplies were ensured and the efficiency greatly improved through the construction of a new gas and steam turbine power station as well as further infrastructural measures. Nuon's operating model is also unique because it offers companies the greatest possible autonomy simultaneously combined with the advantages of an industry park. Thus, the companies on the Oberbruch Industry Park own the actual property. They are completely independent of the operator and other companies at the location. Nevertheless, they also benefit from the synergies offered by the industrial park. The customers can chose from the range of services offered by Nuon. In other words, they can opt to use services from the fields of energy, environment, infrastructure, security and service as a full-service according to the motto "You produce, we take care of the rest“ – but this is not obligatory. Industry park management for Nuon means moving away from the classic, integrated service departments, away from captive, cost-intensive service units and towards an independent location service provider–Nuon Industry Park Management.

KG, Air Products, KL Biodiesel GmbH & Co KG Key data: Turnover: >250 Mio Euro Employees: 740 Available Area 20 hectares Contact: Degussa AG Lülsdorf Site Thomas Rieche Feldmühlestrasse D-53859 Niederkassel Germany Tel.: +49 (0) 2208 69349 Fax: +49 (0) 2208 69203 [email protected]

In Niederkassel-Lülsdorf, Degussa AG operates an integrated production site that is located on the right bank of the Rhine River between Bonn and Cologne, Germany, and is 100 hectares in size. Because of its central location in a densely populated area with many markets, customers, and consumers, and with its own port, a rail connection, a good link to the autobahn network, and proximity to an airport, the site features excellent conditions for the settlement of new producers. Over 20 hectares of developed industrial space are available for such relocation activities. Core activity of the site is a large chloralkali electrolysis facility producing potash lye, hydrogen, chlorine, and alcoholates. Alcoholates are among other things interesting catalysts for the production of biodiesel. The inorganic products are processed further into potash and 1,2-dichloroethane (EDC). In three additional production facilities, ortho esters and malonic esters and their derivatives are manufactured for further processing by the agricultural and pharmaceutical industries. In a new large-scale plant, Oxxynova GmbH & Co. KG produces dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), a monomer used, among other things, for the polyester fiber sector.

41

The necessary infrastructure, with available reserves, as well as a qualified range of services is in place for the cost-effective production of these chemical products. In addition to a competitive supply of energy with steam, cooling, and processing water, the supply of electricity (110 kV voltage) is, of course, another important element for the Lülsdorf site. A high-capacity biological wastewater treatment plant, which also has available reserves, purifies the wastewater of this and other sites waste. In addition the site allows access to the own dump (Class 3). One deciding factor for the choice of site by potential new companies is the supply of raw materials. For this purpose, not only are the Degussa operations with their end products and raw materials available, but the location of the site, with its port and rail connection and a link to pipeline systems, and the proximity to other chemical plants and the neighboring refinery all yield additional possibilities for cutting production costs.

Frankfurt, on the Main River, is Germany’s banking capital, a service center and major air hub. But when you approach the city from the west, the first thing you see isn’t the skyscraper-studded skyline of “Mainhattan” but the industrial contours of Industriepark Höchst. For more than 140 years, Frankfurt has been a center of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The industrial park, with an area of 4.6 square kilometers, is the source of many important impulses for those industries, and for innovative technologies in other fields, too. Investment figures attest to the dynamism and competitiveness of Industriepark Höchst. The more than 80 companies at the site, which employ about 22,000 people, have invested over 2.3 billion euros at Industriepark Höchst since 2000. What makes the industrial park so attractive? Its location in the heart of Europe is definitely a big advantage. It takes just a few minutes by car to get to Frankfurt Airport, and you can reach all major European cities within two hours. There is also quick autobahn access, a railway link, and the Main River, which flows through the site. Site operator Infraserv Höchst has tailored the infrastructure to its customers’ needs. Take waste disposal, for instance: The modern waste-water treatment plant ensures safe disposal at optimal costs. Or energy: The modern power plant efficiently provides electricity and steam, and energy prices at Industriepark Höchst are com-

44

petitive internationally. Logistics is yet another example: The industrial park’s trimodal port, its modern logistical hub, optimally links rail, road and water transportation.
