In 1891 Fritz Raschig, a lifelong enthusiastic chemist, opened his own chemical factory in Ludwigshafen, Germany. Initially focussed on tar distillation, he also developed methods of producing highly purified tar components such as anthracene, carbolic acid and benzene. Today, he is best-known to every student of chemistry and engineering for his breakthrough in distillation technology, the revolutionary "Raschig Ring".
Then, as today, RASCHIG remains the obvious choice: for innovative chemicals, high performance thermoset resins, fast-acting road repair materials or cutting-edge process technology equipment.
Our tradition is and continues to be one of growth, progress and innovation. Thereby RASCHIG acts responsibly in accordance with the worldwide Responsible Care Initiative of the Chemical Industry.
