Altana: Increasing production capacity for BYK additives

Altana announced the grand opening of its BYK USA Inc. expanded facility in Wallingford, Connecticut. With this state of the art plant, BYK more than doubles production capacity in the U.S. and increases worldwide supply chain security for its additives.

The expansion project represents a USD 50 million investment from Altana, the largest single investment the Group has made outside of Germany. “Today marks a very important moment in Altanas’s growth strategy,” said Dr. Matthias L. Wolfgruber, CEO, Altana AG. “With this expanded facility we will accelerate our growth in North America.”
