The timeline for specific projects has been adjusted based on market demand and actual capacity.

The expansion includes liquid silicone rubber (LSR) manufacturing facilities in Carrollton, Kentucky, USA, and Zhangjiagang, China, with production expected to begin in 2027. Meanwhile, capacity increases for engineering silicone materials supporting power electronics, semiconductor packaging, and thermal/electrical protection are planned to start production this year in Songjiang, China, and Fukui, Japan; further expansions in Auburn, Michigan, USA, and Zhangjiagang are expected to be completed by 2027.

Earlier this year, Dow expanded its Cooling Science Labs in Shanghai and opened an expanded lab in Midland, Michigan, USA, in June to accelerate customer innovation and the scaling of next-generation thermal management solutions. These investments target high-growth end markets in mobility, electronics, and healthcare by increasing regionalized, localized manufacturing, improving supply reliability, accelerating commercialization, and aligning capacity with customer demand.
