SSE has recently announced an investment plan of six million francs over four years, with the aim of strengthening Valsynthese\u2019s position in the field of high-energy chemical reactions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFine chemicals represent between 9 and 11% of the total activities of the SSE Group, which is present in ten European countries. In Brig, about half of our activities are now dedicated to fine chemicals. Our objective in this plant is to bring this share to 75% within five years,\u201d explains SSE managing director Daniel Antille in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lenouvelliste.ch\/articles\/valais\/canton\/sse-en-renforcant-nos-activites-chimiques-a-brigue-nous-allons-perenniser-les-emplois-pour-les-prochaines-decennies-952452\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an interview with Swiss daily Le Nouvelliste<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn concrete terms, we are going to invest in technologies that will support the range of chemical processes we master. The resulting substances will then be supplied to the pharmaceutical and agro industry, as well as to the perfume industry,\u201d he continues. These investments will enable the group to become a leader in the segment of high-energy reactions.<\/p>\n<h4>\u201cA true hub for chemistry\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>After Basel, Valais is the second largest pharmaceutical and chemical hub in Switzerland, with international groups renowned for the excellence of their products such as SSE, Lonza, BASF, Syngenta, Huntsman and Bachem. This industry accounts for nearly 13% of the canton&#8217;s GDP. \u201cValais is a true hub for chemistry. The young employees are very well trained and are looking for high added value jobs,\u201d highlights Daniel Antille.
