位于德國埃森的特殊化學品制造商贏創于2015年在德國各工廠投資超過40億歐元。

　　去年，贏創又一次證明在它令人驚嘆的實力。根據該公司最新的規劃，贏創將投資40多億歐元擴建其德國當地工廠。這筆資金的大部分(約三分之二)分別投到了贏創在德國的五大場地：馬爾(投資達億萬歐元)，哈瑙、埃森、達姆施塔特和韋塞林格分別獲得數千萬歐元的投資。

　　贏創執行董事會主席Klaus Engel說：“此次投資，旨在緊跟德國快速發展的經濟步伐及其現代化的進程，勢必會奠定和增強我們在未來市場上的地位和作用。所謂的投資的有利條件不是既定的，這需要我們對關乎行業競爭力的決策的充分理解，比如，改善交通基礎設施的決策、向可再生能源過渡的政策以及數字網絡的擴充政策等等。”

　　贏創在德國有進一步的大規模項目啟動計劃。其中之一便是2018年在德國威騰新建一處特殊共聚酯生產工廠，計劃投資億萬歐元。作為全球特種硅樹脂生產計劃的一部分，贏創有意在德國埃森進行進一步的生產擴充投資。目前萊茵費爾登一處新的硅烷研究中心正在建設中，計劃將于2016年完工。

　　贏創，是德國的創新工業集團，也是全球領先的特種化工企業。贏創的業務專注于全球發展大趨勢，即健康、 營養、資源效率和全球化。贏創的發展得益于其創新實力和一體化技術平臺。 其業務遍及全球100多個國家。在2013財年，贏創的33,500余名員工創造了129億歐元的銷售額，營業利潤 (稅息折舊及攤銷前利潤) 達20億歐元。

　　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.
