History:
The great water-power of the river Alz was, in 1908 the principle reason for the choice of location of the energy based production of calcium carbide and calcium cyanamide. The company worked then under the name of Bayerische Stickstoff-Werke AG. Because of the amalgamation in 1939 of this company with the Bayerische Kraftwerke AG and Donauwerke AG a new company Süddeutsche Kalkstickstoff-Werke AG was formed, which was later to become SKW Trostberg AG and Degussa GmbH, the conditions then arose for today’s production facility, the “CHEMIEPARK TROSTBERG” (TROSTBERG CHEMICAL PARK).
