据悉,德国巴斯夫公司8月11日宣布,公司正投资扩大位于泰国罗勇省的移动源排放催化剂产能,以增强该地区的生产能力。
巴斯夫表示,公司正计划在罗勇新建一套占地3.5万平方米的生产设施以替代现有的设施,以增加操作场地和升级生产能力,达到公司在全球各地的其它汽车催化剂生产工厂的水平。具体的投资额没有对外透露。
巴斯夫表示,公司现有在罗勇的工厂于2001年投产,日趋严格的排放规定所带来的需求增长已经促使需要更大的拥有最新设施的生产工厂来提供最为先进的生产能力。
该扩能项目预计在2017年二季度完成,新建工厂将拥有四条生产线,可以生产轻卡和摩托车排放催化剂,将帮助客户满足日益严格的排放规定。

BASF to Expand Thai Mobile Emissions Catalysts
08.11.2015
BASF is investing to expand its regional production capacity and enhance its local manufacturing capabilities for mobile emissions catalysts in Rayong, Thailand, the company announced on Tuesday.
BASF says it is planning to construct a new 35,000-square-meter facility to replace its existing plant in Rayong, providing increased operating space and upgraded manufacturing capabilities comparable to BASF’s other automotive catalysts manufacturing sites around the world. Investment terms were not disclosed.
The existing plant opened in 2001, and growing demand from tightening emissions regulations has driven the need for a larger facility with the latest equipment to provide state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities.
Upon completion of the expansion project in the second quarter of 2017, the new site will house a total of four production lines for both light duty and motorcycle emissions catalysts, helping customers meet increasingly stringent regional emissions regulations.
