Nouryon Invests in Expandable Microspheres Plant in Wisconsin
AMSTERDAM — Nouryon has begun the engineering phase at its Expancel expandable microspheres plant in Wisconsin, moving one step closer to better serving its specialty additives customers in North America. Construction on the plant is expected to begin at the end of the year.
The expansion project, announced in 2019, strengthens Nouryon's position in expandable microspheres. The Green Bay, Wisconsin, location was selected to complement the company's existing production sites in Sweden, Brazil and China. Expandable microspheres are used to make customers' end products lighter and reduce cost and environmental impact by requiring less raw material.
