DOMO Chemicals announces the successful production of 5 million tonnes of caprolactam at its Leuna site. The production capacities have been gradually expanded to the current 176,000 metric tonnes per year.
Caprolactam is primarily required to produce polyamide 6 and is further processed in the company's own polymerization facility, which is integrated on-site, to produce the high-tech engineering plastics under the brand names DOMAMID® and TECHNYL®.

DOMO is committing to neutral CO
2 emissions growth by 2030 establishing a 15% reduction in the carbon content of DOMO’s energy mix and a 7% reduction of industrial waste. "
Over the last 3 decades, we have continued to expand the caprolactam plant and have increased production volumes extensively. Today's focus is clearly on increasing efficiency and saving energy," says Dr. Thomas Jende, production manager for caprolactam.
“
The success is a team effort, this excellence in operation and production is only possible because the corresponding production volumes were also achieved in the upstream and downstream process stages of the value chain“, says Luc de Raedt, site director Leuna.
