Our networks

WeylChem ORGANICA is involved in various networks in fine chemistry and custom synthesis – because together we can make more progress.

CASID

The German custom synthesis industry has achieved worldwide recognition thanks to the high quality of its chemical expertise and its exceptionally high level of customer understanding. In order further increase this awareness, the German companies active in custom synthesis have joined forces in CASID. In CASID, they exchange ideas on common and overarching interests in order to be able to further improve their service to their customers. CASID e.V. therefore actively contributes to Germany being recognized worldwide as an important country for custom synthesis.

4synth

4synth (formerly 4chiral) is a network for fine chemicals in Central Germany, whereby new products and technologies are developed and transferred to production. Under the motto “Our Core Competence is fine organic synthesis”, the network carries out research and development projects in the field of organic synthesis. The focus of the work is on pharmaceutically relevant intermediates and active ingredients. The network is represented by 30 companies, four universities and one technical university.

Dr. Jörg Blumhoff, the current head of marketing, will take over the management of ORGANICA.

“WeylChem ORGANICA” is an exclusive manufacturer of organic fine chemicals, specializing in hazardous reactions.
