Zhejiang Pacific Chemicals Corporation Celebrates 10th Anniversary Milestone

Shanghai - September 27, 2004

Zhejiang Pacific Chemicals Corporation (ZPCC), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company, has celebrated the 10th anniversary of its production plant in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, with outstanding business results and environmental and safety records.

With an annual capacity of 48,000 metric tons of basic flexible and rigid polyol and 24,000 metric tons of formulated polyol, the Ningbo plant has doubled its capacity in the past decade.

Widely used in foam cushioning and rigid insulations, these products are also used in other end user markets such as beddings, fabric and textile linings, automotive seating, and footwear in-sole padding.

The past decade has also seen tremendous achievement of ZPCC’s Ningbo site in its environmental, health and safety performances. Since 2000, the site has been injury-free. And, for more than 7 years, there has been no reportable leaking or spilling incident in the site.

"This is an absolutely world class performance and puts the Ningbo site on a par with – if not better than – the best Dow sites anywhere in the world," said Jim McIlvenny, President of Dow Greater China who officiated at the site’s 10th anniversary celebration. Joining McIlvenny at the occasion was Mr. Yao Li, Vice Mayor of Ningbo and other senior officials of Ningbo City Government.
