Muttenz

The Muttenz CropScience site has an international focus and employs 270 people primarily in the production and global distribution of crop protection intermediates. The following areas are also covered at Bayer’s Muttenz site:
 

• Chemistry
• Pharmatechnology

Over the last century, Muttenz has transformed from a farming village to a modern industrial center. Despite this industrialization, the town has managed to retain its original appearance, which now fits harmoniously with today’s lifestyles. Alongside its well-maintained historic farmhouses, Muttenz is also the home to one of Bayer CropScience’s most efficient and cutting-edge production sites in the world.

Muttenz is the ideal base for visiting a wide range of local recreational areas: extensive woodlands, nature reserves and the impressive vineyards make this small industrial hub an excellent place to live.
 

• Sulzgrube Nature Reserve
  An unique outlook over the Upper Rhine and Birs River Valleys rewards those who make it to the top of Muttenz’s Sulzchopf peak. In fine weather, you can see as far as the Vosges mountains in France and the Black Forest in Germany.

• Rütihard Nature Reserve
  The Rothallenwald forest on the Rütihard is famous for its mighty, 100-year-old beech trees that create a light closed canopy. Nearby lies a beautiful valley, which has been returned to nature thanks to the cessation of woodland management.
