Evonik to expand polymer capacity

25/02/2011
Germany-based Evonik Industries has announced that it is “significantly expanding” its polyether ether ketone (PEEK) capacity in response to growing global demand.

As part of the initiative, the company will modernise an existing plant in Changchun, China with the work scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2011. Evonik has been selling its temperature-proof and chemical-resistant PEEK polymers under the brand name VESTAKEEP for a number of years.

“This expansion testifies to the on-going commitment we are making to support our customers’ continued growth,” said Sanjeev Taneja, Evonik’s global business VESTAKEEP manager on making the announcement.
