Ashland Completes Expansion of Manufacturing Facility in Georgia
WILMINGTON, DE – Ashland Specialty Ingredients, a commercial unit of Ashland Inc., has completed a 13,000-square-foot expansion of its Macon, GA, facility and moved its Nuosept™ biocides production line to the new space. By moving Nuosept biocide production from Leaside, Ontario, to Macon, Ashland has increased production flexibility and efficiency. The production lines are now fully operational.
“With 11 mixing vessels ranging from 75 gallons to 6,000 gallons and every size in between, we can fulfill most any size order, large or small,” said Chris Kollman, Plant Manager. There are 64 tanks on site, including 30 bulk tanks and 19 3,000-5,000-gallon day tanks, which enable Ashland to store finished product until it is shipped and to free up the mills for additional production. The plant runs three shifts covering 24 hours per day Monday through Friday, and can run Saturday if necessary.
