Sulzbach (Taunus), Germany – The CABB Group plans to further build on its global position as a producer of ultrapure monochloroacetic acid. The company has earmarked an investment figure well into the double-digit million euros range for expanding its production and storage capacities by the end of 2019.

These extensive investments reaffirm our commitment to establish the right conditions for sustainable growth."
