Production Capacity Increase
Due to strong growth in demand for EPS (Expandable Polystyrene), SUNPOR Kunststoff GmbH plans to increase its production capacity for EPS beads by an additional 30,000 tons per year. This expansion will bring the total production capacity to 260,000 tons annually, ensuring a steady supply of raw materials for its customers.
Timeline and Implementation
The implementation phase for this capacity expansion is scheduled to take 6 to 8 months. The project is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2022, allowing SUNPOR to meet the growing market demand efficiently.
Climate Change Contribution
SUNPOR CEO Roman Eberstaller highlights that the decision to increase capacity is also driven by the broad commitment to effective climate protection. The European Green Deal serves as a significant impetus for implementing necessary climate measures. SUNPOR-EPS can contribute to energy saving and CO2 reduction, particularly in building insulation.
