Huntsman and Tebodin signed partnership contracts on all engineering projects for Huntsman Holland on an EPCm (Engineering, Procurement, Construction management) basis as well as on Consultancy services. The contracts cover the cooperation of the companies for 5 years, Port of Rotterdam said in its press release.
Huntsman Holland is located in the Botlek area in the port of Rotterdam with a 85 hectare site on which it produces differentiated chemicals. Tebodin has supported with comprehensive EPCm services in the construction of a MDI Splitter unit(Keystone project) in 2013. The unit is designed to handle globally sourced MDI (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate) precursor.
'As Huntsman was still commissioning the new state-of-the-art MDI splitter Tebodin had already started working on the next investment, a downstream flexpolyols manufacturing unit which will enable Huntsman to serve customers with a full range of next-generation, differentiated polyurethane products for automotive, adhesives, coatings and other applications', says Mr. Max van der Meer, Operations Director Europe.
Project Capstone will be commissioned in the next months and provides a more efficient manufacturing expansion within the existing polyols facility.
