MELS was established on February 7, 2001, with a paid-in capital of 35 million U.S. dollars and head offices in downtown Singapore, to engage in the manufacture and sale of a line of high-performance elastomers centered at the flagship product Tafmer®. Construction of the new plant which has been proceeding smoothly since the ground-breaking in September, 2001, was completed successfully in November 2002.
