Celanese Expands POM Production

At a glance
  • Celanese is debottlenecking its POM production lines.
  • The project supports growth in engineered materials.
  • Phase I completes in 2020.
  • Phase II follows shortly after.

Project Overview

Celanese Corporation has initiated a debottlenecking project to expand its polyoxymethylene (POM) production lines. This project aims to support the growth of its engineered materials business by increasing production capacity.

Market Demand

The expansion is driven by the rising global demand for specialty materials and the increasing complexity of high-performance polymers. Celanese is responding to these market needs by enhancing its production capabilities.

Project Phases

The debottlenecking project is divided into two phases. Phase I is expected to be completed in 2020, with Phase II following shortly thereafter. This phased approach ensures a timely increase in production capacity to meet customer demands.
