Solvay SA building nylon compounding unit in Mexico

With initial annual capacity of 10,000 metric tons (m.t.). Solvay SA is building a Technyl polyamide compounding unit in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. This new facility is expected to become operational in Q3 2017 to serve the region’s and America’s growing automotive and consumer goods markets.

This new plant will support their fast growing Technyl polyamide business in North America, in addition to our current capabilities. Many of the world’s top automotive OEMs are located in the region, which makes it an ideal base for us to serve both local and U.S. markets and contribute with our solutions to cleaner mobility.

To minimize investment cost and time to market, Solvay is partnering with Chunil Engineering, one of its major customers.

The collaboration with Chunil Engineering – a global automotive tier 1 – enables them to optimize the site’s infrastructure including the use of power, water and waste treatment. As the business develops they will expand this modular 10KT unit’s capacity to meet the rapidly growing needs of our customers in the region.
