http://www.vinnolit.com/neu_e/presse110402.htm
On April 11th 2002 the newly built 330.000 mt / year vinyl chloride plant at Vintron in Knapsack will be inaugurated. The ceremony marks the conclusion of the restructuring at Vintron including expansion of chlorine, dichloroethane and vinyl chloride capacities.
The realisation of this ambitious project to safeguard our supply of raw materials was made possible as a result of the acquisition of Vinnolit and Vintron in 2000 by Advent International, a leading international investment company. Vinnolit now has at its disposal two backwards integrated twin sites for PVC production - Burghausen/Gendorf and Cologne/Knapsack.
