Vinnolit has successfully commissioned its plant expansion for the production of paste PVC at its Burghausen site using its leading microsuspension technology.
A number of investments were made at the site to expand the facilities, including extensions for the new reactors and a nine-story building being erected for the new dryer.
The plant’s control room was also expanded and modernised, with several new silos, and a new bagging plant and palletising system.
Dr Karl-Martin Schellerer, Managing Director of Vinnolit, said: “In Burghausen, we are now additionally producing with the microsuspension process, which we have already successfully used at our Hillhouse site.”
“Thanks to this technology, we can give our products very flexible, tailor-made processing properties, as they are particularly in demand in the manufacture of floor coverings, wallpapers, and technical coatings.”
Site Manager Thomas Kufner said: “The expansion is another important step towards strengthening another important step towards strengthening our competitiveness and making the site future-proof, and we have also created additional jobs.”
Dr Oliver Mieden, Head of Environmental Affairs and Corporate Communications at Vinnolit, said: “Vinnolit has high standards for safety and environmental protection and it is a matter of course for us to operate our production facilities as energy-efficiently and resource-sparingly as possible and to continuously improve them.”
