Lanxess AG is a German specialty chemicals company based in Cologne, Germany that was founded in 2004, via the spin-off of the chemicals division and parts of the polymers business from Bayer AG. The roots of the company go back to 1863, the year Bayer AG was founded. In November 2003, as part of a major restructuring, the Bayer Group decided to spin off large parts of its chemical activities and around a third of its polymer business into an independent company. On 1 July 2004 Lanxess positioned itself internally in the new structures. In November 2004, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Bayer AG took place in Essen. Over 99 percent of the capital present voted for Lanxess to be spun off from Bayer. More information...
