On Sept. 19, 2019, the Board of Directors of Synthomer inaugurated the new 36,000-ton expansion to its acrylic dispersions production facility in Worms, Germany.

The investment increases the site’s capacity in excess of 30 percent and its fully automated production facility significantly enhances the site’s capability to produce made to order specialty acrylics.

The conclusion of the project was accompanied by guided tours for the board members through the new facilities and the unveiling of a commemorative plaque.

“Synthomer, as one of the world leaders in water-based polymers, has a long term commitment to support industry growth,” said Calum MacLean, chief executive of Synthomer. “The investment adds a world-class facility for innovative acrylic dispersions in the heart of our extensive European dispersion network, which allows us to better serve our customers.”
