We are committed to expending considerable resources to construct, maintain, operate and improve our facilities throughout the world for safety, health and environmental (SH&E) protection and to comply with SH&E requirements. This includes significant capital investments in emissions control technology that improve air quality through the reduction of NOX and SOX emissions.
To meet the growing demand of the inkjet market for digital printing applications, we have increased our global capacity of aqueous pigment dispersions at our Inkjet manufacturing facility in Haverhill, MA, USA. In addition to starting the operations of a new production line, our facility underwent capital expansion projects including upgrades to manufacturing equipment and process technologies. These upgrades enable enhanced operational efficiencies, a reduction in water usage and an increase in capacity to offer broader product portfolios for our inkjet customers.
We enhanced our market presence in Asia Pacific by establishing a new black masterbatch and conductive compounds facility in Cilegon, Indonesia, which is co-located with our existing carbon black plant. The new facility incorporates state-of-the-art technologies, integrated site economics, reduced waste and the use of recovered waste heat energy from the carbon black facility. This black masterbatch and conductive compounds plant serves customers in the Asia Pacific North and South regions in the automotive, electronics, infrastructure, agriculture and packaging industries.
