Atotech, a specialty chemicals technology company and an advanced electroplating solutions provider, has announced that its recently completed production site in Yangzhou, China, is now fully operational. The facility is Atotech’s second chemistry plant in China.  The addition of the Yangzhou facility will provide additional capacity to serve the large and growing Electronics and General Metal Finishing markets in China and also creates important redundancy with the company’s largest chemistry production site in Guangzhou.

The Yangzhou chemical plant is a major milestone in expanding Atotech’s business in Asia. It will be an important supply hub for its customers in East China and will further strengthen its overall competitiveness in its largest geographic market, China, and beyond.

The state-of-the-art facility houses 14 production vessels with a production capacity of 27,000 tons per year and is equipped with modern production features such as a Manufacturing Execution System and Auto-Stop-Filling mechanisms, which ensure the highest quality standards.

With the new production facility, Atotech will be able to significantly increase operational effectiveness, reduce transportation costs, and further strengthen its footprint in Asia.

The Yangzhou facility recently passed the strict governmental safety requirements for industrial production and received the necessary permits to start production. Further, at the Yangzhou site, Atotech has successfully adopted a new approach for waste-water treatment, which is set up as a combination of precipitation, evaporation, and biological treatment. Discharge amounts in this new process are significantly below industry levels. Atotech’s global waste management procedures are designed to protect the environment, the employees, and the local communities.

Atotech has successfully brought a leading-edge facility to life. The Yangzhou plant is strategically located in the Eastern part of China, where a large number of their customers have their production facilities, enabling them to serve them even better.

Atotech operates 17 production sites around the globe – 8 in Asia, 5 in Europe, and 4 in the Americas. This infrastructure ensures proximity to customer locations while providing state-of-the-art products that meet the highest quality standards.
