Danimer Scientific CEO Stephen Croskrey to Take Part in White House-Hosted Summit on Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing

Croskrey will join a panel on biomanufacturing for the bioeconomy

Danimer Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: DNMR) (“Danimer” or the “Company”) chief executive officer Stephen Croskrey will be taking part in a high-level Summit on Biotechnology & Biomanufacturing for the American Bioeconomy, being hosted today by the White House Administration.

The summit, which will be livestreamed here, celebrates the vision, innovation and dedication across the United States to developing bio-based solutions to global challenges facing the country, and is being held in conjunction with President Biden’s Sept. 12, 2022, executive order launching a National Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Initiative to ensure that products invented in the United States can be manufactured here as well. The president also recently signed the landmark Chips & Science Act, which makes historic investments to strengthen American manufacturing, research and development, science and technology.

At the summit, Croskrey will take part in a panel on biomanufacturing for the bioeconomy. The summit will also include a high-level roundtable with members of Congress, cabinet secretaries, and other industry and academic leaders, as well as a panel on biotechnology research and development to solve pressing challenges.

“I’m honored to be included in this summit on behalf of Danimer Scientific and the bioplastics industry,” Croskrey said. “Since our company’s founding in 2004, Danimer has been laser-focused on finding environmentally friendly, economically feasible solutions to the ever-growing plastic waste crisis. I look forward to working with the White House Administration to advance President Biden’s executive order and to continue developing and producing biodegradable products to reduce humans’ impact on our environment.”

Biotechnology utilizes microbes to make specialty chemicals and compounds in a process called biomanufacturing, which is increasingly being embraced as an alternative to petrochemical-based production to make plastics, fuels, materials and medicines. According to industry analysis, bioengineering could account for more than a third of global output of manufacturing industries.

IAA Transportation: Leading International Platform for Logistics and Transport Inspires With Full Halls

1,402 exhibitors from 42 countries – very positive visitor ratings – transport and logistics as a top global topic – next IAA Transportation will be held from 17.

Our first IAA Transportation exhibition ended extremely successfully on Sunday. Organizers, visitors and exhibitors were very satisfied with the new concept, which this year covered the entire transport and logistics spectrum.

1,402 exhibitors from 42 countries and a total of 230 national and international speakers were represented at IAA Transportation and they presented their technical innovations, developments and concepts for tomorrow’s climate-neutral mobility.

“Following on from IAA Mobility, we have successfully developed and reinvented IAA Transportation. We are now exhibiting the entire logistics spectrum, ranging from trucks to cargo bikes and delivery vans to parcel drones. This courage has paid off as the tremendous response from exhibitors and visitors showed that our new approach was the right way to go”, said VDA president Hildegard Müller at the close of IAA Transportation in Hanover. “Transport and logistics are the lifelines of our society and economy. The new IAA Transportation concept has provided answers to the many challenges that the industry is now facing throughout the world. It became clear in Hanover that: our industry is delivering what is needed for a sustainable future”.

IAA Transportation shines out through its Internationality

IAA Transportation 2022 once again consolidated its position as the world’s largest platform for the transport and logistics industry – around two thirds of the exhibitors were international companies. Our visitors came from 72 countries.

The many global innovations that were presented here all focused on the electrification and climate neutrality of the drive train. The vehicle manufacturers presented a huge variety of electric and fuel cell-based drives as well as hydrogen combustion engines. New and also a trend: Replacement kits that enable the diesel drives fitted in buses and trucks to be replaced by a new battery drive system. This concept will enable haulage companies and local transport companies to modernize their existing vehicle fleets during ongoing operations.

Bodywork and trailer exhibitors also presented a wide range of innovations that included electrified trailer axles and more especially, lightweight trailers that will reduce a tractor’s energy requirements. The bus manufacturers focused on the electrification of intercity buses and coaches.

“Our industry is resolutely driving forward the biggest transformation in its history and this is also making an important contribution towards solving the challenges that society is facing. The message from Hanover is this: We have the competence and the will to combine better logistics with more climate protection. The transport and logistics industry is now putting their innovations on the road – the climate neutrality mission is now in full swing”.

Impressive Presence, extremely high international Attention

IAA Transportation welcomed a total of more than 1,400 journalists from 57 countries. The exhibitors organised 89 press conferences. International media from 97 countries accounted for 77 percent of the coverage. Posts on social media channels were viewed more than 2 million times. Apart from Germany, there was very intensive exhibition reporting about the exhibition in the USA, Canada, India, Japan, China and South Korea.

Our exhibitors in detail: A total of 1,402 exhibitors presented themselves at IAA Transportation 2022 and nearly two thirds of them were international companies. 260 of them were exhibiting bodies, trailers and semi-trailers and there were nearly 600 suppliers as well. 68 international start-ups were also present in Hanover for the first time. Six cargo bike manufacturers also presented their new products, making an important contribution to low-emissions and city-friendly logistics.

Visitors were enthusiastic about the new Concept and the Experience Opportunities

The majority of the visitors rated IAA Transportation’s new concept very positively. In particular, the range of innovations, the new models and the internationality of the exhibitors were rated as extremely good. Above all, the opportunity to try out new products for yourself proved to be very popular: IAA Test Drives, which was one of the experience formats, was given top marks by three quarters of the visitors.

Around 7,500 test rides took place as part of IAA Test Drives and IAA Cargobike Parcours. A total of 61 commercial vehicles could be tried out as part of IAA Test Drives and the entire test operation was carried out in a climate-neutral way. Visitors could test the latest models under real conditions on our IAA Cargobike Parcours. The rush for the test drives was great and many test drives were fully booked out.

INEOS Expands Its P-Series Glycol Ether Portfolio to Meet Growing Demand in Key Down Stream Markets, and Completes First Sales

• The newly launched Propylene Glycol n-Butyl Ethers strengthen the commitment to customers in industrial coatings and home care markets.
• INEOS’ new products reduce exposure to challenging market and logistical conditions and reinforces INEOS’ position in the Glycol Ether market.
• Rodney Stobbs, Business Director, INEOS Oxide, says: “We are thrilled to have successfully launched our new PnBs. These new products are used in a huge range of essential applications and, with INEOS now producing them in Europe,customers can improve efficiencies and reduce their exposure to tough market and logistical conditions.”

INEOS has today completed its first sales of brand-new Propylene Glycol n-Butyl Ethers (PnBs) in Antwerp, following a significant investment at its Antwerp site.

PnBs are used extensively in a wide range of sectors due to their outstanding physical properties. The industrial coating and cleaning industries, in particular, are significant users of PnBs, with stakeholders in the wider industrial, automotive, and building sectors all using PnBs.

Customers using its new PnBs should see increased efficiencies and, importantly, lower requirements for solvents, helping to save time and costs in the production of associated products.

INEOS full integration in n-butanol from its Lavera site and propylene oxide from its Köln site is another strength to highlight here. There are only a handful of producers of these new products worldwide, with only two in Europe. As a result, INEOS is underlining its commitment to offering the European and global market best-in-class PnBs that are secure and less exposed to changing and challenging global market conditions.

Rodney Stobbs adds: “INEOS is committed to developing cutting-edge products that form many of the foundations of our everyday lives and, through our investments in Europe, we can now offer PnBs from Antwerp that come with a host of technical and logistical upsides.”

“We already have a large portfolio of solvents and we are back-integrating these new PnBs into our own feedstock supplies. As a new producer in North West Europe we are helping to provide increased immunity for the European market against global
challenges.”
