Lanxess shipped more than 3,000 parts from Texas to China on five ships, including this one.

Lanxess has reopened a hydrazine plant in Weifang in China's Shandong province. The 12,000-metric-ton-per-year plant was dismantled at the company's Baytown, Texas, location and reassembled in China. The company says hydrazine demand is shrinking globally but growing at double-digit rates in China. Separately, Lanxess says it is launching a project to improve the competitiveness of its Antwerp, Belgium, site "to regain the competitive edge we have lost."
