The production capacity will be expanded to ensure Kemira’s ability to address the growing need for sodium hydroxide in Finland.

Kemira Oyj has successfully started up production in its new coagulant plant located in Tarragona, Spain. The plant is able to produce the entire range of Kemira's aluminum and iron-based coagulants that are used for drinking water and wastewater treatment.

Kemira will strengthen its European manufacturing network by constructing two new coagulant plants in Germany and Spain. The investment is EUR 40 million and the plants are expected to be operational during 2012.
