DSM Launches Polyester Production Facility in Germany
ZWOLLE, The Netherlands — Royal DSM has strengthened its leadership in sustainable resins and circular-economy solutions with a successful capacity expansion of sustainable liquid polyester technology and other specialty resins. The expansion was achieved through the operational launch of a new polyester production facility in Meppen, Germany.
This completed expansion follows the strong growth in the company’s can and coil coatings segment in recent years, with growth driven by the market shift from epoxy-based packaging coatings toward new more sustainable bisphenol (BPA)-free solutions. DSM’s new facility will enable greater supply flexibility and security, the ability to meet growing customer demand and address customer needs, as well as improving DSM’s own inventory management and positively contributing to DSM’s working capital management.
