Polynt-Reichhold Group announces further details about its Strategic Integration Initiative
in the Americas
Polynt-Reichhold Group announced, on July 13th
, 2020, its decision to build a 50,000 ton capacity
greenfield Maleic Anhydride plant, to be located at its Morris, Illinois site. The decision was made
following a thorough evaluation of multiple organic and inorganic investment opportunities.
The Morris site is the Group’s largest site for unsaturated polyester resins. It has ample space for
expansion. The site benefits from cost-efficient logistics through its access to a rail spur and a dock
for barges on the Illinois River.
The plant will serve Polynt-Reichhold’s consumption for composites and other maleic derivatives
already produced in Europe and Asia. The company intends to create, in North America, the
successful integrated business model it employs in Europe. Rosario Valido, Group President and
CEO commented: “For Maleic Anhydride, we evaluated options for purchasing an existing plant,
but this proved to not be feasible. Therefore, we decided to go ahead and build our own Maleic
Anhydride Plant.”
Polynt-Reichhold is still evaluating its integration strategy for Phthalic Anhydride, the other
chemistry included in the Strategic Integration Initiative. The Company is considering integration
with existing operations or the construction of a greenfield plant. The Group owns the full
technology and catalyst manufacturing for its Phthalic Anhydride business. The final decision
about the next steps is expected before the year end. Rosario Valido, Group President and CEO
commented: “For Phthalic Anhydride, we are in an earlier stage and different options are still on
the table. We are committed to progress in integrating intermediates and resins. An investment in
Phthalic Anhydride will strengthen our competitive position in the Americas while leveraging our
proprietary technologies and deep experience operating intermediates facilities in Europe and
Asia.”
About Polynt-Reichhold Group:
Polynt-Reichhold Group is a global leader in composite materials, intermediate chemicals, coating
resins, thermosetting composites, gel coats, and niche chemical specialties. Polynt-Reichhold
Group has over 3,300 employees in 37 manufacturing operations throughout North and South
America, Europe and Asia.
