CyPlus GmbH will move its company headquarters to the Industrial Park Hanau-Wolfgang, one of the largest Degussa sites in Europe. As a consequence, the management of the company, which is wholly owned by Degussa, will move its 14 employees from Frankfurt to Hanau. Combining the activities of management, sales, customer service, marketing, application technology and finance and controlling will allow for more instantaneous communication lines, which in turn will accelerate the company's responsiveness.

As of April 4, 2003, CyPlus GmbH will be available at the following address:

CyPlus GmbH
Postcode 660-11a
Rodenbacher Chaussee 4
