Arkema's U.S. Plant Completes 15% PVDF Capacity Expansion with $20 Million Investment

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Arkema has completed a 15% capacity expansion for PVDF at its plant in Calvert City, Kentucky, USA. The project, with an investment of approximately $20 million, was announced in February 2025 and delivered on time and within budget, demonstrating strong project execution and management capabilities.

The additional PVDF capacity is primarily targeted at three end markets: meeting the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles and energy storage systems; addressing cable and infrastructure needs driven by the rapid expansion of data centers; and supporting growth in the semiconductor market.

With production bases in North America, Europe, and Asia, this expansion strengthens Arkema's local supply capabilities in North America. The company previously announced a 20% PVDF capacity expansion at its China plant, expected to be completed by 2028, to further enhance its global supply chain footprint.
