Evonik: Expanded oil additives plant inaugurated in Singapore
Evonik Industries inaugurated its significantly expanded Jurong Island oil additives plant in Singapore after two years of engineering, planning and construction. The capacity of the plant has nearly doubled, making it the largest oil additives production site within Evonik’s global production network. Additional plants are located in the U.S., Canada, France, and Germany.
"The expanding mobility in Asia, a stronger focus on resource efficiency and higher fuel economy, as well as tighter emission limits are spurring growth in demand for high-performance lubricants," outlined Dr. Johannes Ohmer, member of the Management Board of the Resource Efficiency Segment. "With this additional capacity, we are addressing our customers’ growing demand for more, and more advanced lubricants."
"We have been constantly enhancing our capabilities in the attractive Asian growth market and developing our regional team," explained Wei Kiat Tan, Evonik’s Oil Additives Regional Manager for Asia. Elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region, Evonik also operates technology centers in Shanghai, China and Tsukuba, Japan. The company’s goal is to strengthen the competitiveness and innovative power of Asian customers locally with individual solutions.
