BYK Additives & Instruments, a member of the Altana Group announced a plan to expand its facility in Gonzales, Texas.
BYK expects to invest $50 million to construct a significant manufacturing facility to increase the company's capabilities and capacities for key products in the rheology additive portfolio, specifically the Garamite product line, ensuring that it is well placed to achieve future growth and meet customer requirements.
In addition to the expansion of production capabilities and several infrastructure upgrade measures, BYK intends to develop a new R&D centre to house the global competence centre for natural rheology.
Garamite products from BYK are natural rheology additives. They ensure, for example, that coatings have the right viscosity and contribute to the lightweight construction of cars. With its thickening effect, Garamite replaces alternative conventional solutions while requiring less solvent to reduce both emissions and production costs.
In total, BYK has six production sites in US. Around 150 employees work in Gonzales, Texas at the BYK site.
“BYK will increase its supply capability for its customers and facilitate the expected volume growth of diverse rheology additives. At the same time, we will strengthen our competitive position in the area of Garamite additives,” said Stephan Glander, division president BYK Additives & Instruments.
