Kemira to complete US sodium chlorate expansion in early 2020

摘要

Kemira (Helsinki, Finland) says a $20 million expansion of sodium chlorate capacity at its Eastover, South Carolina, facility is slated for completion in early 2020. Construction on the project, which had not been previously announced, began earlier this year, says the company. “This investment not only supports our strategy to grow proftably in pulp and bleaching chemicals, but also overall strengthens our position as a leading chemical supplier for the pulp and paper industry,” says Kim Poulsen, president/pulp & paper and region head/Americas.
