The production expansion of Kaneka Belgium NV for expanded polyolefin foams will involve an investment of about 15 million euro. The project includes the construction of additional state-of-the-art facilities with optimal process controllability, enabling high-end product innovations. Full operation of the new production facility is scheduled for early 2019. With this new investment in Europe, aligned with the investment in Thailand and the existing plant sites in Japan, China, and Malaysia, Kaneka Corporation will further strengthen its global supply structure.
