What our name stands for

The name LANXESS - an artificial word derived from the French “lancer” “to move forward” and the English word “success” - both aptly describe the development of the Group.  
 
Being fast, agile, resilient! Focus on the essentials. Doing things better and better. For customers, employees, the environment and society as a whole.

Where we come from

From the very beginning, our claim “Energizing Chemistry” was more than just a slogan - it was a promise. We have made it our mission to be fast, agile, resilient and flexible and since then we demonstrated this commitment. In a world characterized by highly dynamic markets and increasing complexity, fresh thinking, innovative approaches and adaptability are needed. With this “DNA”, LANXESS has reinvented itself several times over the past 20 years and successfully mastered even difficult challenges.
