Evonik has laid the foundation for a new specialty amines facility in Nanjing, strengthening its foothold in the Chinese market for polyurethane and epoxy curing agents. The project, set for completion by 2026, highlights Evonik’s focus on sustainable growth and enhanced market competitiveness.
Evonik Industries has officially commenced construction on a major expansion of its specialty amines production facility in Nanjing, China. The groundbreaking ceremony on November 8, attended by local government officials, marks a significant step in Evonik’s long-term growth strategy in Asia. The expansion aligns with Evonik’s goal to strengthen its product offering for the polyurethane and epoxy curing agent markets, key sectors in the global coatings industry.
The new investment, valued in the double-digit million euro range, aims to capitalize on cost-effective raw materials available in China, supporting Evonik’s amine portfolio. Dr. Claudine Mollenkopf, Head of the Specialty Additives division, explained that this move reinforces both regional and global strategies. “China’s role as a competitive production hub is pivotal to our strategic objectives,” Mollenkopf stated, underlining the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainable growth.

A Focus on Sustainable and Efficient Production
Operating on green electricity, the Nanjing facility will produce high-performance, amine-based additives for various industries, including automotive, construction, and furnishings. These additives serve as catalysts in polyurethane foam production, contributing to reduced odor and VOC emissions, which align with rising sustainability demands in the market. Additionally, Evonik’s collaboration with the Nanjing government reflects a sustained partnership that further enhances production efficiency.
Roberto Vila-Keller, Head of the Comfort & Insulation business line, highlighted the importance of this development: “With the expanded production capacity in China and additional support from our sites in Japan and Singapore, we are well-positioned to meet the region’s growing demand for sustainable polyurethane solutions.”
Scheduled for completion by 2026, the expanded Nanjing plant will play a crucial role in Evonik’s global operations, offering competitive advantages through increased production capacity and optimized market responsiveness.
