As announced more than two years ago, polyamide specialist Domo Chemicals (Leuna, Germany; www.domochemicals.com) has doubled the compounding capacity of its plant in India for materials of the Technyl brand, acquired from the former Solvay, as confirmed to Plasteurope.com by a spokesperson. Neither the capacity nor the investment amount for the expansion at Mumbai were specified, however.

A conservative estimate puts capacities at the site in the 12,000 t/y range. In 2023, Domo had installed a compounding line at Mumbai, in the sate of Maharashtra, putting capacity at up to 8,000 t/y at the time, though the actual figure would likely have been closer to 6,000 t/y.

With this step, Domo wants to not only shorten delivery times to the country, but also pave the way for further development cooperation with Indian and Asian customers. The Indian market is a rapidly growing one for the polyamide specialist, especially in the application areas of e-mobility and electronics.
