AGC : Begins Evaluations to Expand the Capacity of Its Chlor-Alkali Business in Thailand

In Southeast Asia, AGC conducts chlor-alkali business in Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. In Thailand, AGC acquired Vinythai PCL in 2017, significantly expanding its business infrastructure. AGC is currently undertaking measures toward integrating the business with the nearby AGC Chemicals (Thailand) Co., Ltd. to increase the synergy of the two companies, such as plans to lay pipe between the two companies to share chlorine produced from electrolysis, thereby allowing for flexibility with raw materials.

Under the management policy AGC plus, the AGC Group has set a priority on the expansion of its chlor-alkali business in Southeast Asia. In the near future, the Group will continue to study the possibilities for further capacity/competitiveness enhancement and contribute to the region's economic development.
