Polykemi Group expanding production in China
– Our high-quality materials are in strong demand and we are opening up also in central China to be able to serve our customers even faster and better, says Magnus Lindahl, CEO.
Since its start in 2005, Polykemi Compounds in Kunshan, outside Shanghai, has improved its standing on the Chinese market. Starting from 2022, Polykemi Group will further strengthen its presence in China and open another production unit in Chongqing, situated 1600 kilometers from Kunshan.
Polykemi has already had a sales office over the past decade in Chongqing, in the populous province of Sichuan in central China. The new plant will both reinforce customer relationships and improve our service in the region.
– Many of our customers and their suppliers are based in this area, so a production plant in Chongqing ensures that we can keep our delivery times and guarantee the same high quality for both virgin and recycled raw materials, says Magnus Lindahl, CEO of Polykemi Compounds Kunshan.
– Furthermore, we can guarantee that customers who have production on multiple continents get the exact same high-quality total concept regardless of whether they have production in Asia, the USA or Europe.
Production on three continents in 2022
The new 9,300-square-metre plant (ca. 2.3 acres) will produce compounds based on both virgin and recycled raw materials. It's a conscious strategy, to be geographically close to the customers.
– Our founder Hugo Jönsson was personally involved in deciding this the next step of our China vision as early as 2004. The coincidence of our expansion in the investment in the USA underlines our dedication to be a partner in both the East and the West, says Ola Hugoson, CEO and a member of the owner family.
