CP Kelco announced plans to increase capacity at its purified carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) production facility in Äänekoski, Finland, by 25% within the next 12 to 18 months.
The plant is the largest purified CMC manufacturing facility in the world. “By upgrading our production capabilities, this latest CMC expansion provides us the flexibility for further expansion. The expansion plans are being put in place in anticipation of continued market growth globally and would allow further existing footprint expansion or a Greenfield facility," said Bill Letsinger, CP Kelco CMC director.
