After a long and thorough study on the best place to build their plants, CJ Cheil-Jedang and Arkema have selected the site of Kerteh, in the state of Terengganu in Malaysia.

Thanks to the best efforts of the Government of Malaysia, the Malaysian Biotechnology Corporation and the East Coast Economic Region Development Council, attractive conditions for the bio-methionine and thiochemicals plants have been obtained.

Kerteh located on the East Coast of Malaysia is an ideal place to build a thiochemical platform and  bio-methionine plant where all the necessary infrastucture, utilities and raw materials can be easily obtained.The onsite bulk port and the nearby Kuantan and Kemaman container ports will facilitate the logistic of the products.

Arkema and CJ Cheil-Jedang confirm their intention to start operating the plants at the end of 2013.
