The company will increase capacity to process increasing orders and meet fast growing demand in China and Asia, Eliokem said.
“In order to demonstrate its commitment, Eliokem set new specifications for Wingstay L ex Ningbo with stringent limits on the content of residuals and the colour of the material,†said Eliokem ceo Jacques Collonge.
