DOMO Chemical plans to build more factories in China and India

Shanghai - German materials company DOMO Chemicals held a grand opening ceremony for its new nylon blending plant in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province last week
.
??????? The plant was officially put into operation on March 1, and the current production capacity is 10,000 tons.
It is planned to increase by 5,000 tons in 2017 and another 5,000 tons in 2019
.
??????? Ludovic Tonnerre, managing director of DOMO Engineering Plastics Asia, said the company plans to adopt a small-scale factory business model to reduce transportation and logistics costs for users in the region
.
In an interview with "Plastics News China", he said: "Our growth model in China is to achieve localized supply.
For us, China is not only a country, but a vast territory like a continent
.
One of the biggest challenges.
It’s that customers must face transportation costs as well as environmental costs
.
To this end, we deliberately build small-scale factories that can be replicated
.
" ??????? Tonnerre explained: "Our business must be customer-oriented, we do Everything is for customers.
For us, the important point is to follow customers to the west
.
" ??????? The new plant will produce products including Dommid nylon 6 and 6/6 and high-temperature functional compounds for use in the automotive, electronics and consumer industries
.
The company also uses post-industrial recycled plastics to produce Econamid and Econamid Oro engineering plastics
.
??????? Tonnerre said Domo's strategy is to keep it small
.
"Our goal is to build a factory with no more than 3 production lines, because if there are too many production lines, more middle-level managers are needed
.
" ??????? He said that the next factory will be built in India, then North China and Western China
.
"Many people think that big is beautiful, but I don’t think so
.
We see clear market signals that customers’ demand for high-value and high-quality engineering plastics is increasing.

.
For example: Our sales doubled last year, and the application in the automotive industry, especially under the hood, is the driving force for this substantial increase
.
" ??????? The new plant is located in the energy-saving industry in Xiuzhou District, Jiaxing.
The park is operated by the China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group, which sets high environmental standards for companies entering the park
.
??????? Tonnerre said: "We are in talks with the government to discuss how to develop a high-quality project , We are very satisfied with this cooperation"
.
??????? "This factory fully complies with environmental protection standards.
As far as I know, we may be the only modified plastic factory that uses solar panels, raw rainwater, and air treatment.
, We do not discharge waste water to the sewer
.
"From an economic point of view, it is also worth it
.
" If you plan well, environmental protection will not necessarily increase expenditure
.
"??????? After DOMO Chemical acquired the engineering plastics division of Aquafil Group in mid-2013, the business has grown rapidly
.
"We have successfully shifted from a commodity company to a specialty material company
.
" He said, 2015 The company’s output of specialty materials was only 80 tons per month on average in January of 2009.
Now it has increased to 400 tons per month
.
Domo Chemical is a private company with annual sales of US$1 billion and 900 employees.
, And its subsidiaries are located in Germany, Italy, China and the United States
