US-BASED Lubrizol Corporation, the world’s leading specialty chemicals company, has opened its new facility in Senawang, Seremban, to serve its growing global market.

The injection moulding compounds plant under Lubrizol Advanced Materials Malaysia Sdn Bhd, formerly known as Noveon Malaysia Sdn Bhd, will make products for the estane engineered polymers line.

Lubrizol’s vice president and general manager of estane engineered polymers Mike Vaughn said the new plant was a further RM20 million injection to the company’s investment of over RM50 million since its inception in Malaysia in 1999.

He said the new plant would serve the electronics industry by manufacturing injection moulding resins to support Lubrizol’s market-leading electro-static discharge solutions and services.

“The new cuting-edge plant, which is a one-of-its-kind facility within the Lubrizol group, is aligned to the state government’s drive to attract tech-intensive industries pivotal to Malaysia’s industrialisation masterplan,” Vaughn said.

“The investment in this facility represents our commitment to continuous product innovations,” he said.

Describing the Asia Pacific as one of Lubrizol’s key growth areas, Vaughn said the new facility would play a significant role in positioning the company in the region.

“Speed to market is critical to our success in the marketplace. Business growth and customer demand will drive future investments in this region,” he said.
