Vertellus Specialties to expand Vitride manufacturing capacity
Scheduled to be operational in Zeeland, Michigan, US by June
Vertellus Specialties, a US chemicals company, is to expand manufacturing capacity of its Vitride reducing agent in response to growing worldwide demand. This increased manufacturing capacity is scheduled to be operational by June in Zeeland, Michigan, US.
The firm is also expanding its supply and sales infrastructure for its specialist chemicals products, by adding distribution capabilities, increasing sales resources in China, and increasing technical support throughout the global Vertellus network.
Jim Keay, business director for Vertellus’ Specialty Chemicals division, said: ‘We continue to see good opportunities to improve customers' processes using Vitride as well as helping generic pharmaceutical producers find more manageable routes to their new products.’
The Vitride reducing agent has multiple applications in pharmaceutical, flavour and fragrance as well as agrochemical manufacture. The company claims it is more selective, safer and easier to handle than many other reducing agents.
