Cabot Corporation (CBT) broke ground for a new world-class, fumed silica plant located adjacent to Dow Chemical’s Carrollton site in western Kentucky.
The official ceremony was held in the presence of Sean Keohane, president and CEO of Cabot and Howard Ungerleider, chief financial officer of DowDuPont (DWDP) joined more than 150 local officials, business leaders, community members, local government representatives and other business leaders.
The groundbreaking coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Dow site in Carrollton and celebrates the company’s history of innovation through silicones chemistry.
Announced in May, the new manufacturing facility is scheduled to be operational by 2020, and will extend Cabot’s long-term relationship with Dow while furthering Cabot’s position as a leading producer of fumed silica.
Upon completion, the plant will incorporate Cabot’s latest technology advances into the plant design and operations. Additionally, the collocation enables a fence-line relationship with Dow, creating a closed-loop system that reduces transportation risks, increases manufacturing efficiencies and reduces waste.
