Altana announced the grand opening of its BYK USA Inc expanded facility in Wallingford, Connecticut. With this plant, BYK more than doubles production capacity in the USA and increases worldwide supply chain security for its additives.
The expansion project represents a US$50M investment from Altana, the largest single investment the Group has made outside of Germany.
Currently, Altana operates eight subsidiaries, 18 production facilities and 19 laboratories in the USA. With more than 1000 employees here, the company generated sales of around €290M or 16% of its entire global business in 2013.
