Evonik to Prepare for Reopening of Mid-Molecular Polyester Plant in Mobile, Alabama

摘要

Evonik Corporation will begin preparations for reopening its specialty polyesters production plant located in Mobile, Ala. The revitalization of the plant is scheduled to be completed in 2018 and will have an annual production capacity of several thousand metric tons. The investment will create new jobs in Mobile, where the group currently has more than 800 employees. Specialty polyesters are focused in the reactive hot melt adhesive market and in the pre-coated metal market as a binder for paints, coil coatings and increasingly, in food can coatings. Dr. Dietmar Wewers, global head of the Coating 8c Adhesive Resins Business Line at Evonik, said, "As an innovative supplier of high-quality specialty polyesters we strive to provide a global manufacturing footprint for our polyester platform to support projected market growth."
