Alzchem Group AG: Further steps towards green energy
Alzchem Group AG has published its Environmental Statement 2022 for its German sites in Trostberg, Schalchen, Hart and Waldkraiburg, underscoring the central importance of environmental protection and sustainability for the Bavarian specialty chemicals company.
The reduction, avoidance or recycling of waste, the in house reprocessing of process water in the central wastewater treatment plant at the Trostberg site and the minimization of energy consumption are just a few examples that demonstrate the high priority placed on environmental protection and sustainability at Alzchem. Last year, expenditure on protecting the environment amounted to more than EUR 18 million. In addition, the company's production processes are based predominantly on electricity instead of oil or gas: electricity is the energy of the future and is becoming ever greener as a result of the switch to renewable energies - as are Alzchem's products as a result.
The resource "energy" continues to be the focus of Alzchem's environmental projects. Energy consumption is to be further reduced: One urgent goal is to optimize processes in the manufacture of products and thus reduce the consumption of energy. In addition, emission protection, water consumption and the energy- and raw material-efficient use of resources also play an important role in the Alzchem production network.
Alzchem has been EMAS-registered (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme, also known as the EU Eco-Audit) since 1997 and produces an annual environmental statement. The company has this validated by an independent environmental auditor in order to document, monitor and evaluate the impact of its own activities on environmental protection and sustainability.
Detailed information and key figures can be found in Alzchem's Environmental Statement 2022, available on the company's homepage.

About Alzchem
Alzchem is a globally active specialty chemicals company that is predominantly among the market leaders in its fields of activity. Alzchem benefits in particular from the three very different global developments of climate change, population growth and longer life expectancy. In order to achieve the resulting social goals, Alzchem products can offer attractive solutions with a wide range of different applications.
The company sees interesting growth prospects for itself especially in the areas of human and animal nutrition and agriculture. As a result of population growth, it is necessary to achieve efficient food production. Pharmaceutical raw materials and our creatine products can contribute to healthy aging as life expectancy increases. Alzchem is facing up to the goal of sustainability arising from climate change in the field of renewable energies and across the entire company. The fields of fine chemicals and metallurgy offer just as great a perspective.
The broad product range of Alzchem Group AG includes dietary supplements, precursors for corona tests and pharmaceutical raw materials. These products are our company’s response to global trends and developments. Alzchem is ideally positioned in this regard and sees itself as well equipped for an environmentally oriented future and global developments.
The company employs around 1,630 people at four production sites in Germany and one plant in Sweden, as well as two sales companies in the USA and China. In 2021, Alzchem generated consolidated sales of around EUR 422.3 million and EBITDA of around EUR 62.0 million.
