About CBW Chemie GmbH
CBW Chemie GmbH Bitterfeld-Wolfen has been producing organic fine chemicals on an exclusive basis at the Bitterfeld-Wolfen site since 1997. In the ChemiePark Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Area B, organic intermediates, dyes and specialty chemicals are manufactured predominantly in custom syntheses. The range of services covers taking a product from the synthesis formula through laboratory study to production readiness, as well as worldwide delivery. Core products include 1,2-octanediol (caprylyl glycol) with a capacity of up to 1,000 MT per year, 1,2-hexanediol, sodium permanganate solutions and 3-phenylpropanol. The products serve as starting or auxiliary materials for flavors and fragrances, pharmaceuticals and crop protection products. Management and marketing are handled exclusively through WeylChem ORGANICA GmbH. The production site is classified in the upper category as an operational area (Plant Area 2, Wolfen) under the Major Accidents Ordinance.
