Kemira establishes a manufacturing facility in Nanjing, China to enhance
customer service in the growing Chinese water treatment markets. The investment
is expected to be at EUR 25 million. The facility will be a state of the art
regional production hub for a range of specialty process chemicals serving all
of Kemira's customer segments.
The plant will be located in the Nanjing Chemical Industry Park (NCIP) about
300 kilometers northwest from Shanghai. "The NCIP chemical park is one of the
state level chemical parks and gives easy access to raw materials and utilities.
It also provides a good geographical position close to our targeted customer
base with several modes of transportation for logistics. The location is also
attractive for competent workforce", says Ronald Kwan, Region Head for Asia
Pacific. "The Asian water chemistry market offers us ample opportunities for
growth. Having a local manufacturing facility that works closely together with
our R&D center in Shanghai will help us to tailor our offering to the local
business needs", Kwan continues.
This investment underlines the strong commitment of Kemira to the growing
customer base in Asia Pacific region. The facility will be 100% owned by Kemira,
and will generate approximately 100 new employment opportunities in full
operation. The building will start during 2011 and the facility is expected to
be operational in 2012.
