Facts and Usage

Wolfgang Industrial Park has developed from the Royal Prussian Powder Factory that was founded in 1875. In 1933 – 75 years ago – the then so-called Degussa (German Gold and Silver Refinery) purchased the land and operating site. From 1959 onwards, the company concentrated on research and development at Wolfgang. In 2001, during the course of re-structuring work at the location, the modern industrial park was created. The main focus of the park are areas such as material technology, specialty chemistry, pharmaceutical, nano and biotechnology.  

During the course of the transfer of individual companies in 2001, Wolfgang Industrial Park was created:

Persons employed at the industrial park: of which 1,300 employed in research & development plus 300 apprentices	4.500
Number of companies located at the park:	11

The settlement of new companies is an integral part of the growth strategy. Companies, especially those in the material technology, specialty chemistry, pharmaceutical, nano and biotechnology sectors find custom-fit infrastructure and ideal surroundings at Wolfgang.
