Sabic Innovative Plastics will invest in a production line for Stamax-brand long glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene resin at its manufacturing site in Shanghai. Investment or production capacity numbers were not revealed, but the new line is expected to come on stream in H2-2015. This will be Sabic's third Stamax plant, joining existing facilities in Genk, Belgium, and Bay St. Louis, Miss.
The new China capacity brings Stamax operations closer to customers in Asia, noted Alan Leung, vice president of global and Asia Pacific commercial operations. It also helps respond to growing demands by automakers in the region for lightweight-enabling materials that can help reduce vehicle emissions.
