Colquímica Adhesives Inaugurates North Carolina Facility
The Portuguese company Colquímica Adhesives, provider of hot-melt adhesives for industrial applications, recently inaugurated a new facility in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Portuguese Secretary of State for International Trade and Foreign Investment, Bernardo Ivo Cruz, and the mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina, Vi Lyles, attended the event. The facility started operation in 2021, in the middle of the pandemic, and currently accounts for a 20% increase in Colquímica Adhesives' global annual production capacity.
“I’m very pleased with the first 18 months of this new unit,” said Sofia Koehler, chairman of Colquímica Adhesives Inc. "In Charlotte, we found the ideal conditions to accelerate the globalization of the company's activity and explore the enormous potential of the North and Latin American markets."
