New Compounding Factory
Trinseo has opened a new compounding factory at its Hoek Site in Terneuzen, The Netherlands. This facility replaces the old compounding plant at Terneuzen Industrial Park and aims to enhance R&D, sustainability, and employment in the region.
Investment and Timeline
The transition to the new manufacturing plant took over two years. This long-term investment is expected to contribute positively to Trinseo's development and the regional community.
Modern Challenges
The new factory introduces several advanced features, requiring employees to adapt in terms of expertise and daily operations. Despite the challenges, the company is optimistic about the opportunities this change brings.
Strategic Location
The new site at Mosselbanken in Hoek is close to Trinseo's R&D Center, opened in September 2017. Its proximity to storage and distribution partner Katoen Natie optimizes the supply chain, significantly reducing freight movements.
Employment Growth
Trinseo is one of the top five employers in the Zeeuws-Vlaanderen region. The number of employees in Terneuzen has grown from 350 to 450 over the past decade, with further growth anticipated.
