Evonik reports that its new polyamide 12 plant in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, has been completed, with further plants expected to be completed in 2021.

Evonik says that it is investing more than €400 million to consolidate its position as a market leader in polyamide 12, increasing its overall capacity for the material by more than 50.

‘The project team has done an excellent job over the past months under the conditions of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic,’ said Marcus von Twistern, project leader. ‘We have always found solutions, so we do not currently expect any major delays for the completion of the polyamide 12 plant complex.’
