DETAILS
Shortly after doubling its polycarbonate production capacity
at its Shanghai site to 400,000 tons per year,
Covestro will again significantly expand its capacity
to 600,000 metric tons per year.
With this step, which is achieved through
debottlenecking of its production lines, the company
reacts to the strong customer demand for polycarbonates
in the Asia-Pacific region.
The expanded capacity shall be available starting 2019.
Michelle Jou,
Global Head of Covestro´s Polycarbonates segment
“There is a rapidly growing demand
for polycarbonate resins and blends,
in particular in China.
Segments like electronics, healthcare and automotive
are our key customer industries in that region.
Further expanding our capacity for this high-tech plastic
enables us to even better react
to the changing needs of our customers
and to guarantee sustainable supply.”
Dr. Klaus Schäfer
Chief Technology Officer
“The expansion is essential to satisfy the growing demand”,
“The successful completion of this project
will strengthen our global production network
and demonstrates our continuous commitment
to the Chinese market.”
