Arkema to improve productivity

Paris/France – The management of the Arkema Marseille Saint-Menet facility has presented a plan for the site’s future aimed at consolidating its activities over the long term by enhancing its reliability and competitiveness. The facility specializes in the production of the monomer of the Rilsan 11 polyamide. The proposed evolution of the site, supported by overall investments of € 15 million, is based on two guiding principles: optimizing the organizations toward better technical efficiency as well as cost-effectiveness, and the ongoing improvement of safety, and a reduction in variable costs, while strengthening plant reliability and increasing production capacity by ten per cent.
