Carbon fiber production plants: SGL breaks ground in Moses Lake, MRC resumes build, AKSA starts up

摘要

Three July announcements from carbon fiber producers testified to renewed activity and post-recession growth in the worldwide carbon fiber market. SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers (Munich, Germany) -- a joint venture of the Munich-based BMW Group and SGL Group (Wiesbaden, Germany) -- broke ground on July 7 for its 100 million dollars (USD) carbon fiber manufacturing facility in Moses Lake, Wash. Washington Governor Chris Gregoire, Moses Lake Mayor Ion Lane and more than 90 local guests were in attendance for the festivities.
