(Styron) -- Today the newly elected
minister of economic affairs Mrs. Prof. Dr. Birgitta Wolff and other dignitaries
joined leaders and employees from Styron to celebrate the construction of
Styron’s new SSBR (Solution Styrene Butadiene Rubber) production line. The
groundbreaking ceremony introduced an additional capacity of 50 KT at the
production facility in Schkopau, Germany, and will allow Styron to help
customers around the world meet the increasing demand for high performance
tires.
The new production train will be built alongside existing trains and is
expected to be fully operational by Q4 2012. With this capacity expansion,
Styron envisions the creation of approximately 30 additional jobs at the
Schkopau site. According to Ralf Irmert, business development director,
Synthetic Rubber at Styron, the new train will focus on SSBR production, with
the capability to produce all existing clear and oil extended Styron grades.
