Credit line of up to €300 million for sustainable research and development.
December 18, 2025

The European Investment Bank (EIB) is supporting ALTANA with a new credit line of up to €300 million. This will finance sustainable research and development projects from 2025 to 2028.
The focus is on developing innovative solutions with the aim of making everyday products better and more sustainable. Aspects such as the reduction of greenhouse gases and volatile organic compounds are just as important as the avoidance of critical substances and the responsible use of water resources.
The credit line will be divided into two tranches: €100 million will be available from December 2025, with a further €200 million to follow in the first quarter of 2026. The instrument enables long-term planning and supports implementation of the company’s innovation and sustainability strategy.
The new EIB financing will enable the company to further strengthen its innovative capacity and accelerate its transformation to circular and resource-efficient production. In the latest EcoVadis sustainability rating, ALTANA received a Platinum rating, ranking among the top 1 percent of all companies assessed worldwide across all industries.
“The renewed cooperation with the EIB represents an important strategic step for ALTANA,” explains ALTANA CFO Stefan Genten. “The financing enables us to consistently advance our innovation and sustainability strategy and further strengthen our leading position in the field of future-proof specialty chemicals.”
“The EIB financing not only offers us extremely attractive terms, but also a high degree of flexibility,” Claudia Uhlich, head of group treasury, adds. “We particularly value the trusting, collaborative partnership with the EIB, which contributes significantly to the success of our sustainable transformation.”
“ALTANA impressively demonstrates how investment into research and innovation secures long-term industry leadership and sustainable growth. With our long-standing partnership, we are proving the strength of genuine collaboration: together we are turning pioneering ideas into concrete solutions for climate and resource protection – and ensuring that German and European industry remains at the global forefront of innovation in the future as well,” notes Jean-Christophe Laloux, director general of EU lending and advisory operations at the European Investment Bank.
