Syensqo invests in India’s growth market
Syensqo is investing in a new compounding line for high-performance aromatic polymers at its Panoli site in India, strengthening the company’s ability to serve customers in one of the world’s fastest-growing automotive markets. “India is an important
growth market for high- performance polymers, particularly as the automo- tive industry continues to localise and adopt more
advanced material solu- tions,” said Tom Wood, VP Product and Asset Manager at Syensqo. “By bringing compounding capacity closer to our customers, we can respond more quickly and efficiently to their evolving needs while offering greater flexibility across our aromatics portfolio.”
Planned to be operation- al by Q1 2028, the new line will double Syensqo’s
current compounding capacity at Panoli and be the first asset in a modular compounding hub de- signed to provide increased flexibility.
It will be capable of compounding a broad range of materials, including Ryton PPS, KetaSpire PEEK, Amodel PPA and Ixef PARA, allowing Syensqo to adapt production as customer and market needs evolve. �

Polyfil USA expands headquarters facility
Groundbreaking ceremony Rockaway, New Jersey
Masterbatch producer Polyfil USA has begun a $12m redevelopment of its headquarters in Rockaway, New Jersey. The project includes a 2,601 m² addition to the existing 5,482 m²
facility, as well as a significant investment in new compounding equip- ment. The new wing of the facility is slated to be operational next year. “When we first envisioned increasing our manufacturing space, we knew the road ahead would be challenging – government approvals, environmental regulations, and the complexity of the permitting process, tested our resolve,” said Juan Castaneda, Managing Director of Polyfil. Upon completion, the newly updated headquarters will feature
increased production capacity, more than double the amount of laboratories, employee training facilities, modern logistics capabilities, and next-generation manufacturing technologies. �
