AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands - AkzoNobel has
officially opened its EUR 275 million Ningbo multi-site in China, providing
further momentum for the company as it enters a new phase of growth.
Occupying a 50-hectare plot, the company’s
Functional Chemicals business is already producing chelates in Ningbo. The same business
also plans to start up new ethylene amines and ethylene oxide factories at the
site before the end of the year, with an organic peroxides facility due to come
on stream in 2011. The products produced in Ningbo will serve a number of markets
including the building and construction, cleaning and detergents, food
preservation, oil, personal care and pulp industries.
