Country Representative Jörg Strassburger on the situation in India:

Mr. Strassburger, what opportunities has the Indian market to offer for LANXESS?

The Indian market is extremely interesting for us. The growth development currently experienced in all industries has no match worldwide and we want our share of this growth.

What are your mid-term expectations for the development of LANXESS in India?

Over the last two years, LANXESS India has achieved growth rates of more than ten percent, and we are determined to carry on with this speed. This means that we want to grow faster than the market and in this way expand our market shares. To achieve this we are going to place targeted investments and look for suitable regional partners.

Mr Strassburger, thanks for the interview.
