AkzoNobel doubles capacity at Industrial Coatings site in China
AkzoNobel has completed the expansion of its Industrial coatings site in Songjiang near Shanghai in China, doubling annual production capacity and creating the company's biggest plant for packaging coatings in the world.
Work started in 2012, when around €14 million was invested in the facility to add production lines for packaging coatings and epoxy and polyester resins. Now the largest site of its kind in the region, Songjiang will serve growing consumer demand from a number of key markets.
"China remains one of our most important growth markets," explained Conrad Keijzer, member of AkzoNobel's Executive Committee responsible for Performance Coatings. "By expanding capacity at our Songjiang site, we are well positioned to capture the ongoing demand from consumer and construction markets."
