An industrial platform at a European crossroads

Butachimie is located on the WEurope industrial platform in Chalampé in eastern France, where the French, German and Swiss borders all meet, called the Pays des 3 Frontières. The largest European site dedicated to the production of nylon 6.6 intermediates covers 125 hectares (just over 300 acres), with a transport and communication network serving all of Western Europe.  The site is especially attractive because of its proximity to Mulhouse, Basel (Switzerland), Freiburg (Germany) and Strasbourg.
