Evonik Strengthens Focus on Adhesive and Sealant Solutions with New Silicone Production Facility in Germany
Additional capacities are for a range of silicone and nanotechnology products, including addition-curing silicones and silyl-terminated polymers that are used as binders for adhesives and sealants.
Evonik recently officially opened its new multi-purpose silicones manufacturing facility in Geesthacht, Germany. A celebratory inauguration ceremony was recently held at the site and attended by local dignitaries, including the mayor of Geesthacht, Evonik’s construction partners, and its staff.
Located 30 km outside the port city of Hamburg, the new plant was completed on time and within the double-digit-million planned budget. Commissioning of the facility’s new tank farm started in December, and incremental production increases are planned over the coming months.
