位于宁波多元化基地的两家新厂分别用来支持表面化学品业务和聚合物化学品业务。位于宁波多元化基地的两家新厂分别用来支持表面化学品业务和聚合物化学品业务。天津南港工业区的新基地将主要支持聚合物化学品业务，搭载领先工艺技术以全新面貌取代在同一地区的老厂。宁波生产基地的新厂其中一家为烷氧基工厂，该工厂将为农化、清洁、纤维胶与饲料领域提供表面活性剂。另一家为阿克苏诺贝尔全球最大的有机过氧化物工厂，其产品主要应用于橡胶的交联，新厂的成立也进一步加强了阿克苏诺贝尔全球最大有机过氧化物制造商的领先地位。将于2016年年底动工并于2018年后期投入运营的天津新基地将采用先进技术，在提升产能的同时满足中国政府在安全与环境方面的严苛要求。新基地旨在支持当地政府提升化工行业的安全性，并满足客户在生产与质量流程管控的需要。它彰显了阿克苏诺贝尔在安全方面的领先地位，也将助力本地客户实现业务增长。“随着行业对环保化工产品的需求日趋旺盛，新工厂的投产将帮助我们一如既往地支持本地客户加大新产品的开发。新增的投资着眼于客户和市场的需求，同时也是我们战略布局的重中之重。这些投资将帮助公司继续实现有机增长，并加强在中国市场的领先地位。”——富唯纳 (Werner Fuhrmann)先生“投资建设高规格的先进生产基地，确保安全生产和可持续发展齐头并进，为我们在中国发展提供了重要基石。我们将继续通过为客户开发必需的原料, 助力创造更宜居更多元的生活。”“两个新装置的投产将提升宁波石化园区的产业集聚度和发展能级, 对加快助推宁波世界级石化产业基地建设有重要意义。”AkzoNobel expands in China to meet growing demand for specialty chemicalsAkzoNobel has inaugurated two new specialty chemicals plants at its multi-site in Ningbo, China, that together represent a combined investment of €80 million. The company has also announced that a further €90 million is to be invested in building a new specialty chemicals plant in Tianjin.The new facilities in Ningbo are for the Surface Chemistry and Polymer Chemistry businesses. The state-of-the-art site in Tianjin – to be located at the Nangang Chemical Park – is also being constructed for the Polymer Chemistry business and will replace its existing plant in the area.“There is increasing demand for innovative and more sustainable chemical products and these new facilities will enable us to continue meeting our customers’ growing needs,” said Werner Fuhrmann, AkzoNobel’s Executive Committee member responsible for Specialty Chemicals. “As well as enhancing our customer focus, these investments also highlight our focus on organic growth and our commitment to further strengthening our market positions in China.”The new facilities at the Ningbo site include an alkoxylation facility – which will provide surfactants for the agrochemical, cleaning, viscose and animal feed industries – as well as the company’s largest unit for making organic peroxides that are used in the production of cross linked rubber. The investment will underline AkzoNobel’s position as the world’s largest organic peroxides producer.“Investing in state-of-art specialty chemicals facilities, with a focus on sustainability, is only natural as we continue our growth journey in China,” explained Dr. LIN Liangqi, President of AkzoNobel China.Commenting on the inaugurations, Director of the CMC in Ningbo Petrochemical District, Zuyou Hu said: “I am delighted to see AkzoNobel’s continued long-term commitment in Ningbo. The new facilities will greatly enhance Ningbo Chemical Base’s innovation capability and contribute to its development into one of China’s strategic chemical production hubs.” In Tianjin, the planned organic peroxides facility will utilize state-of-the-art technology that meets stringent safety and environmental standards introduced by the Chinese government. Offering more capacity than the existing site, it is being constructed to support efforts by the local authorities to improve safety in the chemical industry, while providing improved manufacturing and quality processes to customers.“Our investment in Tianjin demonstrates our commitment to maintaining our safety leadership position while fully supporting the growth of our customers,” added Fuhrmann.Construction of the new Tianjin site will start towards the end of 2016. It is expected to be operational in late 2018.
