Nantong plant history
Nantong plant, located in Rugao, was built in 2000. Its original portfolio consisted of melamine based flame retardants. Five years after its construction, in 2005, the manufacturing site started a Joint Venture with Italmatch Chemicals.
Later in 2006, Nantong plant was then 100% purchased by Italmatch as a “Fully Owned Company” (FOC). Later on, Italmatch Group invested in order to build a Red Phosphorus masterbatches production and a Hypophosphite production, both with proprietary technology.
Today, 100 people work in the plant every day. The plant has a total production capacity of 4000 MT/Year, with a total surface of 26000 SQM.
