 "Arkema expands Bostik polymer modified binder capacity in Philippines")
Bostik, the specialty adhesives business line of Arkema, has expanded its cementitious powder production capacities, based on its world-class polymer modified binder (PMB) technology, with the start of a new plant in the Philippines. As a global adhesive specialist for construction, consumer and industrial markets, Bostik will be able to serve construction customers in the high growth Mindanao and Visayas regions with a new manufacturing plant in Misamis Oriental.
This facility is the Bostik’s latest plant opening in South East Asia and will manufacture products including tile adhesives, wall finishing products and other construction systems.
These productions are based on Bostik’s polymer modified binder (PMB) technology which remains a focus of its ongoing innovation, research and development activities.
Jeffrey Merkt, senior vice president of Asia, Bostik, said, “We are pleased to continue Bostik’s expansion in the Philippines with the opening of this new plant. Development in high growth geographic regions is one of the central components of our growth strategy and this new facility will enable us to significantly grow our construction business in this important market.”
Bostik has been active in the Philippines since 2005. This new facility represents the latest development in its international expansion following recent plant openings in Mexico, the US, India, Brazil and Malaysia.
