Evonik Starts Specialty Amine Production in Nanjing

Evonik has officially broken ground on the expansion of its specialty amines plant in Nanjing. This highlights the company’s commitment to advancing the polyurethane and epoxy curing agent markets. The expansion at the existing site strengthens Evonik’s presence in China, a key region for its global operations.

The investment will enable Evonik to enhance its amine portfolio by gaining access to cost-effective local raw materials. By increasing production capacity in China, the company aims to bolster its competitiveness, improve market efficiency, and optimize its global production network. This move supports future growth in the market and aligns with Evonik’s global strategy to further differentiate its amine product offerings.

The groundbreaking of our new specialty amines plant is testament to Evonik's strategic focus on expanding our capabilities in Asia and our confidence in its potential. China’s role as a competitive production hub is pivotal for both our regional and global business strategies. This investment not only strengthens our position in the polyurethane and epoxy markets, but also highlights our commitment to sustainable growth and innovation.
