AOC acquires UPR Manufacturing Operations in Czech Republic.
UPR manufacturing operations
AOC, Kaprain and Spolchemie reach agreement on AOC acquiring the Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) manufacturing operations located at the Spolchemie site in Ústí nad Labem (Czech Republic). This footprint extension will allow AOC to improve service and logistics to its customers in Central/Eastern Europe as well as in Germany, according to the company, and will make new products (e.g. based on recycled PET) available for customers around Europe.
The UPR plant at the Spolchemie site in Ústí nad Labem (located 70 km Southeast of Dresden, Germany) has been making resins for AOC on a contract basis for many years. Besides state-of-the-art UPR production equipment, the plant reportedly has unique capabilities for manufacturing green resins based on recycled PET.
