Huntsman Marks Grand Opening of Expanded Performance Products Facility in Hungary
Huntsman Corp. recently celebrated the grand opening of its expanded Performance Products manufacturing facility in Petfurdo, Hungary. Operations at the expanded facility were initiated at the beginning of this year. Huntsman reports that the successful completion of this investment increases the company's global capacity providing greater flexibility, and innovative technologies for the polyurethane, coatings, metalworking, and electronics industries.
One of the world's leading amine catalyst producers with over 50 years of experience in urethane chemicals, Huntsman has seen demand for its JEFFCAT® amine catalysts continue to grow across the globe. The company’s latest product portfolio supports industry efforts to save energy, lower emissions, and reduce odors in consumer products.
"This new capacity builds on our long‑standing investments in Performance Products and strengthens our ability to support customers in fast‑growing and evolving markets," said Jan Buberl, president, Huntsman Performance Products. "The expansion unit enhances our manufacturing flexibility, enables next‑generation products and reflects our continued focus on sustainability, operational excellence and long‑term value creation. As demand grows for cleaner, more efficient solutions, this investment positions us to respond with speed, innovation and reliability."
The project, supported by an investment grant from the Hungarian government, reflects the community's confidence in Huntsman and a shared commitment to future growth. Government officials joined the celebration to mark this investment in the region's long‑term success.
"We greatly appreciate the support of the Hungarian government and value the strong partnership that helped bring this project to completion," Buberl added. "We look forward to continuing our collaboration as we advance economic development and manufacturing excellence in Hungary."
