SI Group, a manufacturer of innovative technology for performance additives, process solutions and chemical intermediates, announced today the decision to double tackifier resin capacity at its Bethune, France manufacturing site. The expansion will propel the site to become a regional hub for tackifier and reinforcing resin production and technology.
The investment, slated for completion later this year, addresses an increasing demand for Novolac tackifiers in one of our core regions.
“We have taken the decision to further grow capacity as another step forward in reinventing our business model,” stated Robert Kaiser, vice president, rubber & adhesives solutions at SI Group.
“This expansion will not only benefit the region’s supply, but will provide superior solutions at the highest reliability of supply to all our customers globally.”
Investment Supports Growing Market Opportunities
In addition to
tackifier resins, the company also has a robust portfolio of anti-degradants, bonding, curing, and reinforcing resins, manufactured globally. This expansion follows the company’s announcement in September 2020 to also expand resin capacity in Nanjing, China.
SI Group solutions are used to enhance the quality and performance of industrial and consumer goods within the adhesives and industrial resins industries.
