Thor has opened a new facility in Zhenjiang, China. Phase 1 of the 50,000 m2 site is complete and fully operational marked by the official opening ceremony in April.
The facility comprises 3,000 m2 offices and laboratories, 5,000 m2 warehousing and a production plant capable of an output in excess of 30,000 tonnes of Thor’s in-can and dry film Acticide biocides, extensive range of liquid and solid Microcare quats and Aflammit flame retardant products.
Thor’s Mark Jamieson, regional director, Asia Pacific said: “This new facility will ensure ready product availability, not only to the Chinese domestic market, but also to the whole region, in particular our expanding markets in Australia, Taiwan, Korea and Japan.”
This major new development for the group comes after the recent expansion of a similar multi-million dollar facility in Querétaro Mexico to supply the Americas which complements its principal European facility in Speyer Germany and six further manufacturing sites worldwide.
