ValuePark® – the home of business success
ValuePark® is the Chemical Park concept of Dow Olefinverbund GmbH established in Central Germany. It is not just a normal industrial estate in Schkopau. It is also far more than a mere joint venture where different firms do business from the same site. As Dow is the biggest plastics supplier in Eastern Germany, we ensure that all our partners in the ValuePark® are an integral part of our feedstock and supply chain. That is why we work on site with companies that process our raw materials into high-quality products. This concept generates genuine added value for both these medium-sized businesses and Dow, one of the biggest global players in the chemical industry.

Our involvement in Central Germany is a long-term commitment and a key element of Dow’s global strategy for growth. That is why we have created one of the best infrastructures for the plastics, rubber und chemicals manufacturing industry anywhere in Europe. Whether we are talking about the quality of feedstock, reliability of delivery or availability of special services, Dow ValuePark® provides almost everything investors may need. Our partners here are handpicked to optimize potential synergy effects and our selection criteria guarantee a well-balanced mix of manufacturers, logistics service providers and suppliers. What’s more, right inside of Dow ValuePark® we have the Fraunhofer Pilot Plant Centre for Polymer Synthesis and Polymer Processing, one of the most innovative and best-equipped research institutes developing new polymer systems all the way from the laboratory to the pilot plant.

The well-designed structure of Dow ValuePark® is embedded in an equally advantageous regional infrastructure. Since we have good relations with local authorities, communities and administrative bodies, we can assist our business partners in obtaining the necessary construction and production permits. We also maintain close contacts with universities and research institutes in the Central Germany region. In this way, we are helping to strengthen the plastics and rubber industry in the long term and safeguard the future of this business location.
