ADCO Global announced that its Kömmerling subsidiary has opened its new production plant in Nanjing, China. The custom built plant will manufacture sealants and adhesives for the Insulating Glass (IG), solar photovoltaic, structural glazing and transportation markets in China and Asia.

Commenting on the new development, Dick Spalton, Managing Director, Kömmerling, said; "This new plant is a response to the growing demands from our customers in the rapidly expanding Asian market. Demand for our products and expertise in the Far East is continuing to grow. With the opening of this plant, we will be able to provide our customers with a far more efficient and economic supply chain, which will reduce both freight costs and delivery times."

The plant, which utilizes raw materials produced in Asia, is already producing Polysulphide and Silicone for the IG market. The Nanjing plant will also have the capacity to manufacture polyurethane and butyl adhesives and sealants in 2011. The new plant complements Adco Global's existing production units based in the U.S.A. and Germany.
