Clariant announced its latest double digit million investment at the groundbreaking ceremony held on November 5, 2015 at the Java Integrated Industrial & Port Estate (JIIPE) in Gresik, Surabaya, where construction has officially commenced to develop the first phase of a multi-purpose facility that would allow Clariant to establish its presence even further in Indonesia and Asia.
With already five production sites and three technical centers established in Indonesia, Clariant's new site in East Java — the upcoming chemical industry hub in Indonesia, is going to further reinforce Clariant's commitment to opportunities in the emerging Asian market.
By establishing its new site at the JIIPE, Clariant is taking advantage of the industrial park's first-class support in many aspects of its operation. For instance, the deep sea port, toll roads and the international airport located in the vicinity of JIIPE will offer strong logistics support for shipments destined for both domestic and international markets.
The first facility to start operation at the new site is going to be a new bleaching earth plant for Clariant's Functional Minerals Business Unit. It is expected to come on-stream early 2017 with facilities from other Clariant Business Units that could join and co-develop the new site in becoming a multi-purpose facility for Clariant in the future.
