World Scope

Mitsubishi Gas Chemical (MGC) will be constructing a new plant in an industrial estate in Rotterdam through its newly established and fully funded subsidiary MGC Specialty Chemicals Netherlands B.V. to increase its production capacity of Meta-xylenediamine (MXDA), for which Europe is the largest market. MXDA is mainly used in epoxy coatings for infrastructure applications due to its excellent anticorrosive and chemical-resistant properties, and a long-term growth in the market is expected. In addition to its current applications, the market for MXDA in the repair of wind turbine blades is growing and the new plant is scheduled to start operation in mid-2024. With the establishment of this new manufacturing subsidiary, the MGC Group will be able to strengthen its business continuity plan and ensure the stable supply of MXDA worldwide.
