IGM Resins to Ensure Security of Photoinitiator Supply with Production Site in Italy
WAALWIJK, the Netherlands – IGM Resins recently confirmed it will continue to supply its photoinitiators to the UV industry through its increasingly China-independent manufacturing site in Mortara, Italy. As China implements tighter environmental controls on energy-intensive industries, there is a possibility of significant disruption to supply chains and manufacturing operations in the industry.
As a result of the new environmental measures for dual control of energy consumption in the past weeks, local governments of many provinces in China have started to issue detailed control measures, which significantly impact both the supply of raw materials and the capabilities of production locations. Industry experts expect manufacturing-related disruptions will last well into 2022.
