Pulcra breaks ground in China project
German chemicals group Pulcra has broken ground on a new 250 million yuan ($35 million) specialty chemicals project in Shanghai's Jinshan district.
The new facility will produce 60,000 metric tonnes per year with an expected production capacity in the region of 700 million yuan ($100 million)
Pulcra Group chairman Seyit Gunduz said: “Our existing production capacity is no longer in line with our further development needs. After comparison, inspection and research, we made the decision to invest in our new project at Shanghai's Carbon Valley Green Bay Industrial Park.”
Adding “It is the first greenfield project of Pulcra."
The company had involvement in the whole process of launching the facility, from looking for a suitable plot of land and searching for a mature and professional industrial park to designing and engineering.
Pulcra's chemical business unit focuses on the development and manufacture of innovative specialty chemicals for the leather, fibre and textile industries.
