Syensqo has broken ground on a manufacturing expansion at its Havre de Grace, MD, site, adding over 30% capacity through a multi-million-dollar investment in the company’s US manufacturing footprint. The expansion further strengthens Syensqo's global manufacturing network and its ability to support the growing aerospace market with advanced material solutions. The investment reinforces the company’s commitment to supplying high-performance structural adhesives and surfacing products for commercial aerospace, defense, propulsion, space, advanced air mobility and automotive customers.

Rodrigo Elizondo, President, Syensqo Composite Materials, commented: "Today’s announcement marks an important milestone for our Havre de Grace site and for Syensqo’s continued growth in composite materials. This investment will strengthen supply reliability, improve efficiency and support our ability to meet growing customer demand for adhesive, bonding and primer materials. It follows and complements our previous capacity increase in Wrexham, UK."

As aerospace remains Syensqo's largest end market, this investment reinforces the company's long-term commitment to supporting customers as they scale production. The expansion will further reinforce the Havre de Grace site’s role locally and within Syensqo’s global manufacturing network and its ability to support customers with high-performance materials.
