“We have a gratifying fiscal year 2019 behind us. In that year, we have been able to complete two major investment projects on schedule with the expansion of nitrile production and the commissioning of the new Creamino^® plant, which will have a major impact on our future. In addition, we have taken a major step forward with the own distribution of Creamino^®, to which our customers have responded very positively,” explained Andreas Niedermaier, CEO of AlzChem Group AG. “The first quarter of 2020 also developed positively, as we were able to compensate almost completely for the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily due to our highly diversified product portfolio. We are pleased that our shareholders appreciate this development.”
