JHAGADIA, India (Jan. 11, 2012)—Rhein Chemie Rheinau GmbH has opened a production facility at the Jhagadia site in the Indian state of Gujarat, successfully completing the transfer of production from Madurai in southern India.
Construction took just less than a year, the Lanxess subsidiary said. The company said the main factors in the decision to relocate were the “excellent infrastructure and good opportunities for future expansion offered by the large Lanxess production site at Jhagadia and its proximity to key customers.”
At the facility, Rhein Chemie produces its Rhenogran (predispersed polymer-bound additives) and Rhenodiv (tire-release agents) product lines for the rubber processing industry.
