The Synthomer board of directors recently inaugurated a new 36,000-t expansion to the company’s acrylic dispersions production facility in Worms, Germany. The investment increases the site’s capacity in excess of 30%, and Synthomer reports that its fully automated production facility significantly enhances the site’s capability to produce made-to-order specialty acrylics.

The successful conclusion of the project was accompanied by guided tours for the board members through the new facilities and the unveiling of a commemorative plaque. Neil Johnson, chairman of the board, took the opportunity to thank the project team for the professionally executed expansion.
