Huntsman opens new manufacturing facility in Hungary
Huntsman has inaugurated its new manufacturing facility for amine catalysts in Kémia Park, Hungary. The site will enhance the company’s production capacities and support innovation in polyurethane applications, including coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers.
The site represents a strategic investment aimed at increasing the company’s production capacity for speciality amine catalysts, which are critical components in polyurethane systems used across various industries. Polyurethane applications, such as coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers (CASE), are a key focus area for the company, with this facility strengthening its position in the growing market.
Amine catalysts play an essential role in polyurethane formulations, influencing the curing process and overall performance of end products. By expanding production capabilities in Hungary, the company aims to meet the rising demand for polyurethane-based solutions in Europe and beyond. The facility also highlights the company’s commitment to innovation, with advanced manufacturing technologies integrated to ensure efficiency and sustainability.
Expanding regional presence and advancing sustainability
The new site in Hungary marks Huntsman’s first dedicated manufacturing facility for amine catalysts in Europe, positioning the company closer to its regional customer base. This proximity is expected to reduce delivery times and improve supply chain reliability, particularly for customers in CASE applications.
The facility is designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating energy-efficient systems and processes to minimise environmental impact. This reflects Huntsman’s broader corporate strategy to advance sustainable practices while delivering high-performance chemical solutions.
