Further strengthening its long-standing cooperation with Siemens, LANXESS have signed a contract with Siemens for the procurement of technical goods for the global production facilities of the specialty chemicals company. As per the agreement, Siemens will now supply LANXESS not only with digital control systems and software, but also with motor control centers and fire detection systems, among other things, at globally uniform conditions.

In addition, the two companies want to accelerate the digital transformation at LANXESS through the joint development of digital applications and technologies.
