The Dongguan plant will produce a complete range of quality desiccant packets primarily for customers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and food industries, but also for a series of complementary active packaging products.
It is expected to improve Clariant’s existing portfolio of controlled atmosphere packaging solutions, as well as expand the company’s current production and service network in China.
The facility will be an addition to Clariant’s existing healthcare packaging sites in China, the US, France and Australia.
