(Arkema) -- CJ CheilJedang (CJ Group)
and Arkema have agreed a Memorandum of Understanding to build a bio-methionine
and thiochemicals platform in South East Asia (Malaysia or Thailand). This
project entails the construction of the world’s first world-scale methyl
mercaptan integrated bio-methionine plant, which will enable CJ to respond to
strong demand for methionine, a sulfur amino acid widely used for animal feed in
Asia, and Arkema to better serve its Asian customers from a new industrial
platform. The project represents overall investments of USD 400m split equally
between both partners.
