100 years of synthetic rubber

Tags: rubber, synthetic, years

It is certainly very unusual for a company not yet five years old to be celebrating a centenary. Nevertheless, that is precisely the position LANXESS is in. When our company was founded, we inherited a legacy that dates back over many years. In 1909, synthetic rubber was invented by chemist Fritz Hofmann of Elberfelder Farbenfabriken, one of the antecedents of LANXESS.
