Sidnei Maturano, President of ERTEX Química (ERCA Química) announced expanded production capacity for the manufacturing of esters, amides and ammonium quaternaries.
Mr Maturano explains: "We've got that point in our growth where it was obvious that we needed to support our expanding business by means of expanded capacity. It's been a matter of agenda. We took steps accordingly to safeguard our current and future commitments with the customers and avoid inefficiencies".
Early July 2012 one glass lined reactor and one stainless steel 316 type reactor will come on stream in the Itatiba plant, which will gain 10'000 t per annum capacity. Both lines are meant to feed the Personal and the Home Care demand, areas where ERCA is steadily growing in Latin America.
