Congratulations to Sebastian Schaefer, Vice President, Regional Manufacturing, and Managing Director at Worms, on his new role as Chairman. We echo his sentiments on the importance of balancing regulation with economic strength. A strong, competitive industry relies on trust, affordable energy, and streamlined regulations. Join us in welcoming the newly elected Executive Board members. 👏 #Leadership #IndustryInnovation #EconomicStrength #CorporateLeadership
Auf der diesjährigen Mitgliederversammlung wurde neu über den Vorsitz abgestimmt. Dr. Sabine Nikolaus hat den Staffelstab an Sebastian Schaefer übergeben. Er ist Geschäftsführer beim Wormser Unternehmen Grace und bereits langjähriges Vorstandsmitglied. Mit Blick auf die jüngsten EU-Wahlen betont Schäfer, dass die Unternehmen in der Regulierungsflut unterzugehen drohen: „Rund 850 EU-Vorhaben sind bereits in der Pipeline und kommen auf uns in der Praxis zu. Es muss nun ein Umdenken geben. Denn unsere wirtschaftliche Stärke basiert auf einer wettbewerbsfähigen Industrie. Dafür brauchen wir mehr Vertrauen, günstige Energie und weniger Regulierung“. Zuwahlen auch beim Vorstand Guilhem Hamiache Vogel (Michelin Reifenwerke, Bad Kreuznach), Dr. Christoph Riemer (Zschimmer & Schwarz, Lahnstein) und Dr. Fridtjof Traulsen (Boehringer-Ingelheim, Ingelheim) wurden neu in den Vorstand gewählt.

🔍 Particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, drug purity isn’t just a goal – it’s essential for achieving safety, stability and efficacy. However, purification is easier said than done, especially with challenging molecules like DNA and RNA “oligonucleotides,” due in large part to their diversity and the range of impurities that can be generated during production. 🌍 Enter DAVISIL® chromatographic silica, with a wide range of pore diameters and particle sizes to meet your specific application, performance and sustainability requirements. Before you choose the chromatography resin for your next purification application, take a look at these 5 considerations: https://lnkd.in/db25ncCq #Pharmaceuticals #PharmaTech #Chromatography

Understanding the challenges and benefits of pathways to a circular economy can be very valuable for refiners. Using advanced recycling, it’s possible to convert waste plastics into valuable fuels and petrochemical building blocks with a process that offers an innovative solution for utilizing post-consumer plastic waste as feedstock for fluid catalytic cracking (FCC). Our experts, Stefan Brandt and Kenneth Bryden, W.R. Grace & Co., collaborate with Jesse Goellner and Chad Huovie of Braven Environmental to address this need, aiming to enhance yields and manage the complexities of this feedstock. Here are their findings, featured in the June issue of Hydrocarbon Processing: https://lnkd.in/dH2dGEbX #Recycling #EnvironmentalInnovation #ChemicalEngineering #CircularEconomy #Petrochemicals

Our VP of Licensing and Services, Brian Kimberley delivered a compelling session on "Technology Advancements Enabling Growth and Circularity" at the 32nd Annual Polyethylene And Polypropylene (PEPP) Conference. He addressed how polypropylene processing technology and advanced recycling technology are helping support circularity and efficiency even as more capacity comes online. Technology versatility is proving to be essential when working toward net zero polymerization and depolymerization processes.
