(chemanager-online) -- plans to
expand manufacturing capacity of specialty amines used as polyurethane catalysts
at its manufacturing facilities in Petfurdo, Hungary and in Barcelona, Spain.
The expansions extend the Huntsman manufacturing portfolio, further leverage the
company’s integrated amines capability and increase existing polyurethane
catalyst production capacity by 25%. Financial details were not
disclosed.
Stu Monteith, President of Huntsman’s Performance Products
division said: "The capacity expansion leverages our strong manufacturing and
technology base and enhances what is already the widest in-house manufacturing
capability across the industry. We have consistently improved capability and
extended the product range manufactured at our Petfurdo location over the last
10 years.
However, in the last few years demand has begun to fill
production capabilities across our two main production sites in Petfurdo and
Conroe, Texas. The new capacity and addition of a third manufacturing site shows
the commitment that we will build, ahead of the demand curve, to match our
customers’ growth." |
