“The additional capacity reaffirms our dedication to being our customers’ supplier of choice for polyamides and will help us meet the rapidly growing demand for our Ultramid polyamide grades in India,” Andy Postlethwaite, senior vice president, Performance Materials Asia Pacific for BASF said in a company release. “It will accordingly shorten local delivery times and help us to better meet the just-in-time needs of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).”
