Monheim am Rhein/Germany — With the construction of a new plant, Oxea intends to significantly improve the supply base for isononanoic acid. The plant is the sixth of its kind in the company's global production network. After commissioning by the end of 2021, it will double the current production capacity for isononanoic acid and increase the total production capacity for carboxylic acids by more than 30 %.
According to Kyle Hendrix, Global Commercial Director for Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives at Oxea, the Oberhausen site offers decisive advantages in terms of construction time and integration into the existing production network. The manufacturer will also set up its own logistics centre in Asia to support the growth and agility of the Asian market.
