Regulatory News:
This 15% capacity expansion of Arkema’s (Paris:AKE) PVDF
production site in Calvert City, Kentucky, represents an investment
of around 20 million US dollars and is aligned with the strategy of
the Group to increase its global PVDF footprint at a pace and with
capabilities that match market development. This will support the
increasing demand for locally manufactured high-performance resins
for lithium-ion batteries as well as the growing semiconductor and
cable markets.
Arkema’s Calvert City plant has a long history in PVDF
manufacturing. The 15% capacity expansion will focus on innovative
PVDF grades designed to support the manufacture of electric
vehicles (EV) and energy storage systems with improved
sustainability profiles, as well as growth in local manufacturing
by customers in other strategic markets. Startup is planned for
mid-2026, in line with the ramp-up of production at North American
gigafactories and significant expansion of local semiconductor
capabilities.
“We are proud to take this step forward hand-in-hand with our
customers,” said Laurent Tellier, Senior Vice-President of Arkema’s
High Performance Polymers and Fluorogases. “It demonstrates our
commitment to develop our businesses on a global scale, by
investing in each region to support local strategic industries. We
will continue to invest proactively to support this growth,
matching closely the reality of the evolution of the demand”.
Arkema produces PVDF in all three major regions, with plants in
the USA, China, and France, and is a global leader in PVDF supply.
All three sites have recently seen significant investment and
capacity increase at a pace and with capabilities that match the
evolution of the demand.
Building on its unique set of expertise in materials science,
Arkema offers a portfolio of first-class technologies to
address ever-growing demand for new and sustainable materials. With
the ambition to become a pure player in Specialty Materials, the
Group is structured into 3 complementary, resilient and highly
innovative segments dedicated to Specialty Materials - Adhesive
Solutions, Advanced Materials, and Coating Solutions - accounting
for some 92% of Group sales in 2023, and a well-positioned and
competitive Intermediates segment. Arkema offers cutting-edge
technological solutions to meet the challenges of, among other
things, new energies, access to water, recycling, urbanization and
mobility, and fosters a permanent dialogue with all its
stakeholders. The Group reported sales of around € 9.5 billion in
