history
In 1990 the privatization of individual business areas of the Leunawerke began, combined with the closure of unprofitable plants and the outsourcing of non-chemical areas. In 1991 the new center for technical gases and Linde AG relocated there .

In August 1993, Arkema’s newly built hydrogen peroxide plant went into operation.
With the settlement of the DOMO group , which took over the caprolactam area of the Leunawerke, further production and processing facilities for sulfuric acid and hydroxylammonium sulfate, among others, were established in 1994 . In May, construction work began on what is now the TOTAL refinery in Central Germany .
