Best Practice: New Owner Found for Chemical Plant – Enabled by the CCB Network in Action

Last updated on: 20 Aug, 2025

In the world of chemistry, everything revolves around reactions and connections. But sometimes, it’s not the chemical bonds – it’s the human connections that spark the most exciting reactions.

A recent success story within the Chemistry Cluster impressively demonstrates the strength of our network and our commitment to sustainability.

An innovation center in Franconia offered a filling plant it no longer needed – free for collection. Instead of letting it go to waste, we saw an opportunity for our network and informed our members. The response was overwhelming: within just five minutes, we received the first feedback from our network. In total, three companies expressed interest.

Within two weeks, the plant had found a new home at a medium-sized company in Bavaria – a classic win-win situation.

More than just matchmaking
