BYK Locations in Germany

At around 79,000 square meters (excluding ALTANA), the location in Wesel is one of the largest of BYK. In 1962, the foundation stone for a highly successful company was laid here.

The Kempen location, with its production facilities, has been part of BYK-Chemie GmbH since 2008. A sister company of BYK also previously produced here.

Our state-of-the-art logistics center is located in Emmelsum, on the banks of the Wesel-Datteln Canal. From here, we send our additives all over the world.

Packaging and toys, roof rails and window profiles, housings for electrical appliances, and components for the automotive industry – the market for thermoplastics is almost inexhaustible. With its products, at the Schkopau location (near Halle/Leipzig) BYK-Chemie specializes in thermoplastics and the manufacture of high-performance modifiers for plastics

BYK-Gardner is not a specialty chemicals production site but rather a manufacturer of highly sensitive, innovative electrical engineering. BYK-Gardner develops, produces, and distributes instruments and system solutions for measuring the color, appearance, and physical surface properties from Geretsried in Bavaria. This test equipment systematically measures what the human eye perceives – the devices thus become “objective eyes” in the truest sense.
