Evonik’s plant expansion aligns with the company’s strategy to further differentiate its product offerings.
Evonik has officially broken ground on its plant expansion for specialty amines in Nanjing, during a ceremony attended by Nanjing government delegates. Amines play an important role in the production and chemistry of polyurethane. Amines, specifically amine-based catalysts, are often used to speed up or control the reaction between isocyanates and polyols.
This milestone underscores Evonik's commitment to the development of the polyurethane and epoxy curing agent markets. The expansion at the existing production site strengthens Evonik's presence in China, a vital region for the company’s global operations.
The expansion represents a strategic investment in the double-digit million euro range, allowing Evonik to enhance its amine portfolio by accessing cost-effective raw materials. By increasing production in China, Evonik strengthens its competitiveness and improves market efficiency, optimizing its production network. This expansion supports future market growth and aligns with Evonik’s global amine strategy to further differentiate its product offerings.
