Solutia Inc. announced it is beginning the construction of a new Saflex PVB interlayer plant in China. The company anticipates beginning production at the plant in mid-2007.
Solutia made the decision to construct the plant following the completion of a design and engineering study that began in the spring of 2005. The company has selected a construction site in Suzhou, providing ready access to the burgeoning Shanghai automotive industry. The plant will focus on meeting the growing demands of the Chinese automotive market by manufacturing PVB interlayers for use in windscreens. It also will be ideally located to supply other markets in Asia, further improving the business' ability to meet rising customer needs for Solutia PVB interlayers across the broader Asia-Pacific region.
In addition to the forthcoming Suzhou plant, Solutia's LGI presence in the Asia-Pacific region includes a finishing center, distribution center and regional customer service center in Singapore. These investments have been instrumental in establishing the high level of logistical support and customer service necessary to meet growing Asian demand.
