North Carolina-headquartered Reichhold, a supplier to the composites and coatings industries, has opened a new manufacturing facility in Tianjin, China, to focus on the country's growing wind energy industry.
The facility is set up with a planned annual production capacity of 38,000 metric tons, which could expand to 60,000 metric tons. The plant will produce a full Reichhold composites product line, including unsaturated polyester resins, vinyl ester resins, gelcoats and bonding pastes. The market applications will cover wind power, anti-corrosion, marine, high-speed train, industrial construction and electronics.
