Global chemical company BASF broke ground for its new plant for engineering plastics compounds Ultramid and Ultradur in Yesan, South Chungcheong Province, on June 12. The new plant is expected to begin operations by the end of 2015.

With an initial annual capacity of 36,000 metric tons, the new plant will more than double the total compounding capacity of BASF’s engineering plastics in South Korea.

With this project and its to-be-expanded Pudong plant in China, BASF’s overall compounding capacity in Asia will reach a total of 225,000 metric tons from the current 130,000 in 2015.
