DSM NeoResins' completes new site.

DSM NeoResins has completed its new water-based alkyd manufacturing unit at its existing site located in Hoek van Holland, the Netherlands. The new line will manufacture specialty water-based alkyd resins for high-end decorative professional and DIY trim paint, stains and metal coatings.

"The new unit is one of the key building blocks in our turnaround towards a leading specialty resins manufacturer," said Dimitri de Vreeze, business unit director of DSM NeoResins. "Combined with the on schedule close of our Landskrona site in Sweden, where mainly long-oil alkyds were manufactured, we are on track with our transformation to a more eco-friendly product portfolio."
