Toyo Ink expands inkjet ink capacity in France
Toyo Ink Europe Specialty Chemicals, a member of the Japan-based specialty chemicals multinational Toyo Ink Group, has started operations of an all-new EUR 13 million production facility for inkjet inks at its manufacturing complex in Oissel in northern France.
With a focus on operational efficiency, the modern, 1,400-square-meter factory has been fitted with advanced automation equipment and ink manufacturing systems for increased process and quality control.
