 "Clariant begins work on production facility at Java in Indonesia")
Swiss specialty chemical firm Clariant has begun work on the first phase of its planned multi-purpose facility at the Java Integrated Industrial & Port Estate (JIIPE) in Gresik, Surabaya (Indonesia). With the facility, Clariant aims to establish its presence even further in Indonesia and Asia.
With already 5 production sites and 3 technical centres established in Indonesia, Clariant’s new site in East Java - the upcoming chemical industry hub in Indonesia - is going to further reinforce the company’s commitment to opportunities in the emerging Asian market.
The first facility, involving double digit million investment, to start operation at the new site is going to be a new bleaching earth plant for Clariant's functional minerals business unit. It is expected to come on-stream early 2017 with facilities from other Clariant business units that could join and co-develop the new site in becoming a multi-purpose facility for the company in the future.
“This new investment highlights the importance of South East Asia and Pacific as a driver of growth for Clariant. The new site we are about to build here in Surabaya is of strong strategic importance as it will help us to capture future growth in Asia. With this step we continue to add highly competitive manufacturing capabilities while capturing synergies within our established production network of six sites in Indonesia,” said Christian Kohlpaintner, Clariant's executive committee member.
