DuPont Mexico TiO2 plant readies for expansion

摘要

A stable recovery of the key national economies in the Latin American region over the past two years is fueling a strong increase in demand for titanium dioxide produced by DuPont Mexico and is supporting the company's potential plans to ramp up production by more than 40% to 200,000 metric tons (MT)per year,according to Luis Rebollar,vice president of titanium technologies for DuPont Latin America."There have been smooth economic transitions following presidential elections last year in both Brazil and Mexico,so it seems as though political noise is no longer affecting the economies in Latin America,which is a big step for the region,"said Rebollar.
