AlzChem creates additional capacity for growth for pharmaceutical applications 
  . Expansion of nitrile plant successfully commissioned 
  . NITRALZ^(R) product line continues to grow with applications in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical markets, as UV 
    absorbers and environmentally friendly color pigments 
Trostberg, June 21, 2021 - AlzChem Group AG is ready for further growth of its nitrile business, especially with 
applications in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical markets. With an investment volume of around EUR 12 million and 
after a construction period of around 15 months, the 50% increase in production capacity was commissioned on budget and 
on time. Depending on the product mix, AlzChem expects this to generate additional annual sales of at least EUR 10 
million to a maximum of EUR 20 million. 
Andreas Niedermaier, CEO of AlzChem Group AG: "We are the only supplier of specialty nitriles outside China. This 
unique position is paying off more and more because many pharmaceutical manufacturers are aligning their supply chains 
to be more European and more secure. Especially since we commissioned a plant for the production of highly pure and 
corrosive dichloronitriles in 2019, our NITRALZ^(R) product line has been able to prove itself as an important pillar 
of our growth strategy - even in the challenging year 2020. Applications in the pharmaceutical market as a starting 
material for important drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases as well as HIV are diverse and in some cases 
only just beginning. Applications as a biocide, as environmentally friendly color pigments, or as an additive in 
sunscreens as a UV absorber are also extremely broad and growing. At the same time, from our point of view, not all 
possible applications have been tapped by any means. We will see even more interesting areas of application and 
innovations here in the future." 
AlzChem uses a highly efficient and environmentally friendly gas phase technology in nitrile production. Thanks to this 
special expertise, AlzChem is able to produce a broad portfolio of sophisticated nitriles. Supported by a comprehensive 
intra-European supply chain and reflective logistics, AlzChem has developed into a sustainable source for a wide range 
of nitriles in recent years - in line with the goal of contributing to greater sustainability and ecological action 
with NITRALZ^(R) from AlzChem.
