Cabot Celebrates 25th Anniversary of Fumed Silica Facility
BARRY, U.K – On June 15, Cabot’s fumed metal oxides manufacturing facility in Barry, Wales, UK, celebrated its 25th anniversary. Members of the Performance Chemicals regional leadership team as well as several customers and distribution partners attended the anniversary celebration.
In the early 1990s, Cabot opened its fumed metal oxides manufacturing facility in Barry to meet the growing demand for silica in the United Kingdom and Europe, Middle East and Africa region. The Barry location was selected based on the availability of local raw material, a well-developed chemical infrastructure and its highly skilled workforce.
