✦ Synopsis
Clariant is steadily increasing its capacity for making plastic masterbatches in China and Southeast Asia. The company now has three masterbatch plants in China -at Beijing (with a capacity of 1000 tonnes/y and 40 employees); at Shanghai (3500 tonnes/y and 100 employees); and at Guangzhou (3000 tonnes/y and 70 employees). A project due for completion later this year will raise capacity at Guangzhou by 10%. Meanwhile, a three-layer blow-moulding machine was installed at the Shanghai plant towards the end of 2007 with the aim of developing new colour effects for plastic bottles. Clariant also operates a 5000 tonnes/y plant at Taoyuan (Taiwan).
Clariant's new masterbatch plant at Chon Buri (Thailand) commenced production in 3Q 2007. The company's project to raise masterbatch capacity at Tangerang (Indonesia) was completed in January 2008.
