According to a release on the company’s website, Tosoh Group company Philippine Resins Industries, Inc. (PRII) will increase its PVC production capacity by 110,000 tons/year. The construction of the additional manufacturing facilities is expected to start in February 2017 and be completed in December 2018.
The additional capacity, which will double the company’s production, will enable the company to be able to overcome the PVC shortage in the region, which resulted from the increasing demand in the Philippines and Asia, the release said.
Commercial operations are due to start in January 2019.
