Clariant has inaugurated expanded facilities at Daya Bay, China, following the completion of an 80m Swiss franc ($99m) investment.
The strategic expansion enhances Clariant's capabilities in two key areas: pharmaceutical excipients and specialty chemicals for personal and home care applications.
The Daya Bay enhancements include an expanded multi-purpose plant (MPP) with an additional reactor.
This facility is dedicated to producing specialty chemicals, including mild surfactants for the beauty industry and soil release polymers for the home care sector under the Texcare range.
These products cater to the growing consumer demand for gentle yet effective personal care products and high-performance home care solutions.
“This investment represents a pivotal moment for Clariant's operations in China,” said Christian Vang, Business President Care Chemicals at Clariant.
"With these expanded facilities, we are now better positioned to contribute to the health and wellbeing of Chinese consumers while supporting the growth of local industries with our innovative specialty chemicals,” he added.
