New Delhi/India - The JV Company, as per the MOU, will construct a new phenolic resin plant at KCI’s existing production facility at Vishakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. In addition, for a cash consideration, KCI would transfer its currently existing manufacturing facility in Visakhapatnam to the proposed JV, while Momentive Specialty Chemicals would provide technology supporting its specialty phenolic resins, Formaldehyde and Hexamine businesses, as well as its current business in India, to the JV. It is envisioned that both parties would have equal (50%) ownership of the JV. The companies would work to identify and evaluate additional growth opportunities for specialty chemicals in such vertical markets as automotive, industrial and construction.

“The end markets for specialty phenolics and Formaldehyde continues to grow rapidly in India and the proposed JV would leverage the proven approach of combining technology and application development with world-class manufacturing expertise,” said R.V. Kanoria, Chairman & Managing Director, Kanoria Chemicals & Industries Ltd.
