AkzoNobel has significantly strengthened its global manufacturing footprint for organic peroxides by completing a Euro 22 million expansion of its Los Reyes production facility in Mexico, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The new facility will produce Laurox brand organic peroxides, essential ingredients used in the production of plastics and rubber products.
The opening was formally dedicated at a ceremony today by AkzoNobel’s CFO, Maëlys Castella and Johan Landfors, Managing Director of the company’s Polymer Chemistry business.
The Los Reyes site has operated since 1970 and the facility has experienced substantial growth since then. Los Reyes is also the headquarters for AkzoNobel’s Specialty Chemicals business in Mexico, employing more than 230 people. Overall, the company has more than 500 employees in Mexico across three production sites.
