位于德国埃森的特殊化学品制造商赢创于2015年在德国各工厂投资超过40亿欧元。

　　去年，赢创又一次证明它令人惊叹的实力。根据该公司最新的规划，赢创将投资40多亿欧元扩建其德国当地工厂。这笔资金的大部分(约三分之二)分别投到了赢创在德国的五大场地：马尔(投资达亿万欧元)，哈瑙、埃森、达姆施塔特和韦塞林格分别获得数千万欧元的投资。

　　赢创执行董事会主席Klaus Engel说：“此次投资，旨在紧跟德国快速发展的经济步伐及其现代化的进程，势必会奠定和增强我们在未来市场上的地位和作用。所谓的投资的有利条件不是既定的，这需要我们对关乎行业竞争力的决策的充分理解，比如，改善交通基础设施的决策、向可再生能源过渡的政策以及数字网络的扩充政策等等。”

　　赢创在德国有进一步的大规模项目启动计划。其中之一便是2018年在德国威腾新建一处特殊共聚酯生产工厂，计划投资亿万欧元。作为全球特种硅树脂生产计划的一部分，赢创有意在德国埃森进行进一步的生产扩充投资。目前莱茵费尔登一处新的硅烷研究中心正在建设中，计划将于2016年完工。

　　赢创，是德国的创新工业集团，也是全球领先的特种化工企业。赢创的业务专注于全球发展大趋势，即健康、 营养、资源效率和全球化。赢创的发展得益于其创新实力和一体化技术平台。 其业务遍及全球100多个国家。在2013财年，赢创的33,500余名员工创造了129亿欧元的销售额，营业利润 (税息折旧及摊销前利润) 达20亿欧元。

　　New production plants, modernized infrastructure facilities, involvement in research and development (R&D): This year, Evonik once again demonstrated its considerable power to create at its German sites. According to a recent projection, the company invested more than EUR 400 million in its domestic production plants. The lion’s share of the funds (around two-thirds) was divided among Evonik’s five-largest sites in Germany: Marl (hundreds of millions of euros), Hanau, Essen, Darmstadt, and Wesseling (tens of millions of euros at each site).

　　"By investing in growth and modernization in Germany, we are strengthening our foothold in important markets of the future," stressed Klaus Engel, Chairman of Evonik’s Executive Board. "Favorable conditions for investment are by no means a given. I would like to see greater understanding among policy-makers for the necessary competitiveness of our industry, entailing, for example, improvements in the transportation infrastructure, the transition to renewable energy sources, and the expansion of digital networks."

　　Evonik is planning further large-scale projects in Germany. One of these is the construction of a new plant for production of specialty copolyesters in Witten by 2018 with an investment in the double-digit million euro range. As part of the global production initiative for specialty silicones, Evonik intends to invest in production for these products in Essen once again. A new silane research center is currently being built in Rheinfelden that is slated to be completed in 2016.

　　In the 2014 financial year, EUR 2.8 billion or 22 percent of consolidated sales was generated in Germany. The company employs around 21,000 people in its home country. Investing in Germany gives Evonik the opportunity to recruit highly educated, motivated people in addition to the advantages of proximity to key customers, first-class research facilities, and existing integrated production networks at the sites.

　　In Marl, Evonik’s largest site worldwide with a workforce of close to 7,000, a production facility for C4-based raw materials was completed in 2015. In Essen, the company put a new manufacturing plant for polymeric dispersants into operation and expanded a plant in which specialty silicones are produced.

　　New bridges, warehouses, and plant entrances

　　Many infrastructure projects were also completed at Evonik’s German sites in 2015. In Marl, a new canal bridge for rail transportation was inaugurated, a state-of-the-art warehouse for hazardous materials was opened, and a new coal conveyor was put into operation. For next year, Evonik is planning the start-up of a new gas and steam turbine plant in Marl. This new power plant will replace an old coal-fired unit and go a long way toward reducing greenhouse gases.

　　In Darmstadt, among other things, a new control center with a situation center for the Darmstadt/Weiterstadt and Worms sites was opened on the factory premises. In Wesseling, the plant entrance and gate system at the Bonn-Beuel section of the plant were rehabilitated, creating more space for waiting trucks and reducing the traffic backlog. There are plans to renovate the workshops and upgrade the fire protection equipment in 2016. The expansion of the central warehouse in Essen through the addition of 1,300 square meters of space is also expected to be finished next year.
