Founded in 1986, Hanse Chemie joined the Group in 2011 and is now part of Specialty Additives.

Around 100 employees work at the site around 30 km from Hamburg.The plant is a modern site with production, marketing and sales, research & development, and application technology.

The products manufactured here are used in the production of adhesives and sealants, molding compounds, and other elastomers. The underlying chemistry includes addition- and condensation-curing silicones and silane-terminated polymers. Other products manufactured at the site include modified reactive resins and dispersions containing nanoscale silica. Important fields of application for these are coatings and fiber composites. Nanotechnology has been a topic at the Geesthacht site since 1999.

The municipality of Geesthacht, with a population of just under 30,000, is in Schleswig-Holstein. Evonik is an important employer here. The plant site near the river Elbe still has reserve areas for possible expansion.
