Styrolution is optimizing its specialty production platform in Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) to better serve customers and spur further growth in styrenic copolymer sales. The company will offer Novodur grades from its production sites in Cologne, Ludwigshafen, and Schwarzeide, and Luran S grades from Ludwigshafen and Schwarzheide. They will also expand compounding capacity in Schwarzheide to insource specialty ABS and Novodur GF previously produced by external partners. The Schwarzheide site will become an important hub for Styrolution in EMEA, producing compounded specialty styrenic products. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
