Oxea extends specialty ester capacity
Oxea has announced a significant capacity expansion for specialty esters to keep up with growing demand. The capacity of the existing ester unit in Oberhausen/Germany will be extended by 40 %, effective second half 2011. Additionally, the company has the intention to build a new unit in Oberhausen coming online in the second half of 2012. These significant capacity increases are meant to support the increasing market shift to phthalate-free plasticizers.
