Croda opens new facility

Croda opened a new facility at its Atlas Point manufacturing site in New Castle, Delaware. Lubricant esters will be produced in the new facility. With the new plant fully operational, Croda can now manufacture lubricant quality esters and target high-end lubricant application. The expansion increases Croda’s capacity by 15% and allows the company to produce various grades for the lubricant ester market in North America. (September 6, 2011)
