SI Group announces resole capacity expansion plan
SI Group has announced plans to increase the resole production capacities at their facilities in Rotterdam Junction, New York, and Lote, India.
The goal of this capacity expansion of more than 25% is to propel the sites to become two of the world’s leading resole production and technology locations. The debottlenecking investments are slated for completion later this year. The expanded capacity is intended to help addressing an increasing global demand for resole resins used in the automotive and adhesive value chain.
