Did you know how chemistry makes ships weatherproof and turns drab grey concrete colourful, or the role played by synthetic rubber in our daily lives since 100 years? The WebMagazine of the LANXESS specialty chemicals group has the answers. It tells exciting and educational stories related to the chemicals industry. But this online medium has been offering comprehensive information since August 2007 on more than just the LANXESS products that literally accompany us every step of the way, for example in our shoes. In words and images, readers also learned how the company supports education and purposefully responds to the lack of skilled workers or the role played by future markets such as China and India.

LANXESS received no less than two awards for this innovative form of reporting in 2009. In New York, a jury of more than 100 communication experts decided to present the Mercury Award in gold to the WebMagazine in the "Websites / Internet Magazine" category. The group also received the Galaxy Award in silver for "Community Awareness". The independent American MerComm, Inc. has been recognising outstanding achievements in various fields of communication with this renowned prize each year since 1987.
