Mexichem Specialty Compounds (MSC) has installed a new production line at its facility in Melton Mowbray, increasing production capacity by an additional 10,000 tonnes per year.
The additional volume output is targeted to service MSC’s global customer base with demand for Low Smoke Halogen Free MEGOLON compounds as wire and cable manufacturers respond to evolving Construction Product regulation requirements.
