Swedish Eka Chemicals Co., Ltd. covet China Chlorine Dioxide Market
According to the Beihai Daily, on April 3, the Mayor of Beihai, Lian Younong, met with Mr. Steve.Hunt, President of the Asia Pacific Region of Eka Chemicals in Sweden. The two parties held talks on the cooperation of the Eka company in the construction of the production base in Beihai.
The president of Steve.Hunt said that he would send technical experts to visit and conduct substantive negotiations as soon as possible so that the investment project can be started as soon as possible.
Eka Chemicals is a branch of the world's top 500 AkzoNobel. It is an internationally renowned manufacturer of industrial pulp and paper chemicals. It is a world leader in pulp bleaching and paper chemicals. A supplier of sodium chlorate and chlorine dioxide, and the company is also a global business partner of Stora Enso, Finland. The visit was made through the introduction of Stora Enso. The company intends to follow Stora Enso's forestry-pulp paper integration project and invest in a production base in Beihai. The initial investment is expected to reach 1 billion yuan.
China's chlorine dioxide market will undoubtedly be the world's largest chlorine dioxide market, and most of the chlorine dioxide products in the domestic market are low-end products, not competitive, and the technology of chlorine dioxide production enterprises is generally not high. The only advantage of the product is its low price. In today's globalized world, more and more foreign chlorine dioxide producers will enter the Chinese market. At that time, if the domestic chlorine dioxide producers maintain the status quo, the consequences are imaginable.
