German additves maker Baerlocher has opened a 40,000-tonne/year capacity plant in Changzhou. It will produce Ca-based and Pb-based-stabiliser systems.
In his opening address, Dr Michael Rosenthal, Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Baerlocher Group, said that the Chinese market had been the biggest growth market for PVC for many years, and thus warranted an investment of this nature for the company.
Baerlocher, through its local sales company Baerlocher (Shanghai) Trading, which has been operating since 2007, has been an importer of solid PVC stabilisers in the region.
The project further complements Baerlocher’s regional strategy following the earlier establishment of the production joint venture, Jiangsu U&B, which manufactures liquid mixed metal stabilisers.
