Orion Engineered Carbons S.A. announced that it will expand its production capacity for Gas Blacks at its Cologne (Kalscheuren), Germany, plant.
Orion is responding to the continuously growing global market for waterborne and solvent-borne coatings by debottlenecking its gas black production.
“The expansion of capacity in Cologne is one more step in the rapid realignment of Orion’s portfolio toward higher value-added Carbon Blacks for specialty and technical rubber applications,” Orion CEO Corning Painter said.
“Products from Cologne are shipped globally to customers in various high-end coatings and printing applications, including high jet automotive OEM and refinish, antistatic coatings as well as packaging and UV curing inks," added Dr. Sandra Niewiem, VP, Business Line Specialty Carbon Black. "This initiative reflects the high confidence of our customers in Orion’s products and technical support capabilities.”
