On April 5, Nouryon executives and employees, along with representatives from the village of Howard and the state of Wisconsin, broke ground for Nouryon’s new world-scale polymerization plant in Wisconsin, US.
“I want to express my gratitude to the project team, the contractors and the local community, as today's groundbreaking is a sign of our commitment to the North American region, the state of Wisconsin, that we are growing, that we are creating jobs in the area and that we will meet the rapidly growing demand for Expancel while serving our customers across North America,” said Larry Ryan Executive Vice President and President of Performance Formulations and the Americas at Nouryon.
Nouryon’s investment, initially announced in 2019, complements its existing Expancel polymerization plant, located in Stockvik, Sweden. The new plant, which is expected to be fully operational in early 2023, will repurpose a polymer latex production facility that was previously owned by another company.
