Mitsui Chemicals

Chemistry and Industry, Sept 10, 2007

Mitsui Chemicals opened its first R&D centre outside Japan in 2006. Known as the Mitsui Chemicals Singapore Technical Centre, this focuses on catalysis and asymmetric synthesis--two areas of collaboration with the Institute of Chemical & Engineering Sciences. In July 2007, Mitsui further deepened its roots in Singapore by establishing a new plant for its Tafmer polyolefin.

The new plant will be managed by Mitsui Elastomers Singapore Pte and will allow Mitsui Chemicals to secure stable supply of the material, in response to rapidly growing demand in Asia.
