The new facility occupies over 3900 square meters and boasts a modern design optimized for safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Equipped with state-of-the-art mixing and blending capabilities, and advanced testing laboratories to ensure every product meets quality and regulatory standards, the site will serve as a hub for the mixing, blending, drumming, and packaging of a wide range of chemical products tailored to meet the diverse needs of its customers.
