Degussa Expands Isophorone Production in North Rhine-Westphalia
With the formal opening of its new isophorone production line in Herne, RAG subsidiary Degussa is paving the way for expansion and growth. Isophorone chemicals are used in the production of automotive coatings and industrial floorings, and for corrosion protection, to mention only a few applications. With the capacity increase achieved by the expansion, Degussa is now further consolidating its position in this growth market. In addition to the three integrated production facilities for isophorone now existing in Herne, the company has a fourth production line in Mobile, USA.
Says Dr. Klaus Engel, chairman of the board of Degussa GmbH: "Over the last few years, investments amounting to a triple-digit figure in millions of euros have flowed into the Herne site. Of this, the new production line alone accounts for a sum in the high double-digit range. This shows that Degussa has a continuing commitment to North Rhine-Westphalia, and that the site is absolutely competitive by international standards."
