Americhem to add new manufacturing lines in NC & Texas

Americhem, a global supplier of color and additive solutions for polymer-based products, has announced several moves in its on-going manufacturing restructuring process.

Current plans involve expanding its manufacturing plants in Concord, North Carolina and Mansfield Texas while phasing out operations at its Salisbury, Maryland plant.

"The expansions offer strategic advantages in overhead, cost structure and location," said Bob Tebbutt, Executive Vice President of Global Manufacturing for Americhem.

"Growth at these facilities will have a positive effect on our overall efficiencies and allow us to continue to take client service to the next level.

Closely following the recent expansion of its Dalton, Georgia facility, the company plans to add new manufacturing lines in the North Carolina and Texas plants. This will increase production of color and additive masterbatches by 10-20% at both facilities.

"Growth at these locations will help us better address the evolving needs of our clients, particularly those in the fibers and building products industries," said Dave Bouton, Americhem's Vice President, Commercial.

The North Carolina facility focuses on masterbatches for synthetic fibers while the Texas plant primarily manufactures products used in the building trade.

"We're pleased to expand and offer greater resources that address the needs of these rapidly growing markets," Bouton continued.

Americhem completed the expansion of its Dalton, Georgia facility earlier this year. More than 15,000 square feet was added to the plant, including expanded production capabilities for polyolefin-based products.
