Science and ResearchProduction flows from Science
What happened 20 years ago at the historic industry location of Geesthacht was something atypical
for the chemicals industry:
A private business was formed - and the hanse chemie AG immediately set to work on
intensive research and development.
What started with six employees blossomed and led to hanse chemie AG and nanoresins
AG which have 100 employees. The core business of hanse chemie AG is the classic silicone
chemistry and the special "reactive resins", and nanoresins concentrating on nano technology.

They facilitated required financial loans and supported on public relations an other cooperation.
Reasons for the choice of location were not only the proximity to Hamburg (global connections via sea and air)
but also the economic support in the county and the short cuts securing prompt decisions from councils.

hanse chemie AG invest around one-tenth of turnover in research and development, far more than the
industry average. A quarter of all employees work in research and development. Close collaboration
with universities and research institutions has made hanse chemie AG a magnet for highly qualified scientists.
