DSM Engineering Plastics to double capacity in China on new site

30 Mar 2005 - DSM has decided to build a new site to expand its Engineering Plastics' compounding capacity in China. This project includes both new compounding lines, which will double total capacity for their Stanyl PA46, Akulon PA6 and Arnite polyesters, and the relocation of the existing facilities in Zhouzhuang in Jiangyin, Jiangsu province in China to a new state of the art plant in Jiangyin Hitech Develoment Zone in Jiangyin. The project will include a major technological upgrade of existing production equipment that will be relocated. DSM's products are used to manufacture key molded components for the automotive, electrical and electronics industries.
 
The Asia Pacific Regional Development Service Center (RDSC), opened in Jiangyin just over a year ago, will also be relocated to the same new site and its capabilities expanded. This will enhance DSM's regional support and development capabilities for engineering plastics. The total investment at the new site will be some tens of million US$ and the new location will be ready early in 2006.
