Songwon to Start Up OPS Plant in Houston

Songwon Additive Technologies Americas has announced that production of OPS products (One Pack Systems) is to start at a new facility in Houston, USA in April this year. The Houston facility will have an initial capacity of 7.000 metric tons per year and follows Songwon´s investment in Additives Technology Greiz (ATG) in 2011 which was doubled in capacity in 2012 to 14.000 metric tons per year.

The Houston plant is part of Songwon's global OPS strategy being driven by a Joint Venture between Songwon Industrial Group, Pan Gulf Holding Company of Saudi Arabia and Polysys Industries of Abu Dhabi, for the manufacture and sale of Songnox OPS (One Pack Systems).
