    Mexico City – Chinese polyol manufacturer Jiahua is considering a world scale polyol facility near Houston, Texas by 2025, according to Timothy Madden, the company’s US CEO.

    Speaking on the side lines of UTECH Las Americas, Madden said that his company had seen demand for its polyols grow in the US during 2020 and 2021. ’We were airfreighting products to the US and then moved to ISO tanks now we have a shore tank which we are supplying in bulk with product shipped to Houston through Panama,’ he said. Supplies are then shipped to customers by rail.

     

    Madden: Jiahua seeks US expansion

    He confirmed that the company is looking at the possibility of building a 200kT/year production site in the US. Madden added, ‘we started market research in 2020 and by 2021 our business had grown enough to warrant a shore tank.’ Madden added that research with large flexible foam makers in the US was underway and that if it went well there would be sufficient demand to build the site. UTECH Las Americas is being held in Mexico City 24-26 May 2022.
