Arkema has invested in 3,000m3 of tank storage capacity for glacial acrylic acid (GAA) at the Ulsan HDOT terminal in South Korea. The new hub will provide domestic inventory for the company and Korean customers with reliable supply.
This decision comes as Arkema expands its portfolio of specialist materials and technologies that target new energy, water access, recycling, urbanisation and mobility, advancing sustainability initiatives across its acrylic chain.
Hervé Castres Saint Martin, group president for Acrylic Monomers at Arkema, says: ‘Asia is a key region in Arkema’s global acrylics footprint. The project in Korea further strengthens our regional synergies across Northeast Asia and better connects our production, supply and logistics networks. By bringing us closer to our Korean customers, it will also enable our regional footprint to better support customer-driven application development and collaborative innovation. This project reflects our long-term commitment to deepening our presence in Asia, enhancing regional supply resilience, and driving business growth through innovation and sustainability.’
