Oxea completes new production plant for specialty esters
Oxea announced that it has mechanically completed its latest production plant for specialty esters, “Ester 2”, in Oberhausen on schedule. This is a major milestone for the company.

With our new production unit we will continue to improve our flexibility and delivery capacity and support our customers in their growth,” said Miguel Mantas, responsible for Sales and Marketing within Oxea’s Executive Board, commenting on the completion of Ester 2. “In our new facility we will manufacture key components for the production of innovative polymer films for which there is strong demand in the chemical industry."
