Frankfurt: The production site and research center
Our Frankfurt site is located in Höchst Industrial Park and employs nearly 300 employees.
At LYB Höchst, we produce polyethylene used in pharmaceutical and food packaging, including films and other applications. Our Frankfurt-made plastic is marketed under the Hostalen and Purell brands. We also manufacture catalysts for polyethylene production at the site. Our research team advances polyethylene and catalyst innovations through on-site chemical and physical labs, as well as test and pilot plants.
