Building our future in Darmstadt
In the plants at our main location, we develop and produce a wide range of products, including high-quality drugs and high-tech chemicals such as liquid crystals for modern displays or specialist pigments for car lacquers. The innovative life science laboratory materials are also manufactured here.
The largest of our eight global Research & Development Centers is also situated in Darmstadt. This is where we work on new solutions for the great challenges of our age.
We look forward to welcoming you in Darmstadt and would like to make your stay as straightforward as possible. We would therefore like to ask visitors to our headquarters and staff from contracting companies to announce their visit in good time, using our registration form.
Our Headquarters in DarmstadtOpen to new ideas
Usually, corporate headquarters are gated in with a high fence. Does this foster an environment of innovation? Where inspiration from outside can flow inside and through the company? Can you stay connected with the people you are developing solutions for? Possibly not. That’s why we are opening ourselves to the outside. By 2020 we will have invested approximately € 1 billion in our Group headquarters. Since 2018, our pioneering and publicly accessible Innovation Center is the heart of our headquarters.
The Rhine-Main region offers an ideal infrastructure to drive innovation. Market-leading companies, excellent universities, ambitious start-ups and individuals with pioneering spirit offer great potential for the kind of network we are developing with our Innovation Center. This is where we would like to start conversations with the best and brightest from around the world and work together with them on new solutions for the challenges of our age.
