- New 50,000 tonnes ABS production line
is planned to be operational in 2020. - New European ABS production setup allows for production
of a broad ABS portfolio
to meet growing customer demand for ABS products.
INEOS Styrolution, the global leader in styrenics,
announces plans for a significant investment into its
Wingles, France, site
to attend the market growth for ABS in Europe.
The site focused on polystyrene production so far.
It will now add production of ABS
(acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) to its portfolio.
The changes reflect increased demand for ABS solutions
from INEOS Styrolution’s focus industries
(Automotive, Household, Electronics, Healthcare,
Construction and Packaging) in Europe.
The new production line for ABS will make use of
the existing production infrastructure in Wingles:
One of the existing three polystyrene production lines
will be converted into a production line for ABS
with a planned capacity of about 50,000 tonnes per year.
The ABS production site in Wingles
is planned to be operational in Q1’2020.
Rob Buntinx,
President EMEA
“Three ABS production sites in Europe
– Wingles, Antwerp and Cologne –
with an increased ABS production capacity
give us increased flexibility
and allow us to grow with our customers.
Our customers can focus on their businesses
while relying on our production capacities being able
to meet their growing demand across our broad ABS portfolio.”
Kevin McQuade,
CEO at INEOS Styrolution
“These plans are at the heart of our focus on
higher-value specialties and ABS Standard grades
and prove our commitment
to our customers and to our long-term growth strategy
as outlined in our Triple Shift Strategy”,
