BYK Netherlands B.V. has broken ground for the construction of a new factory in Deventer, the Netherlands. The new production facility will manufacture solvent-based wax dispersions and replace the current facility with a process installation.

“The significant investment in the solvent based wax business shows our commitment to our key customers who have an ever-growing need for these specialties. With this investment we are excellently positioned to continue to be a reliable and sustainable development partner to our global customer base”, says Dr. Jörg Hinnerwisch, BYK Division president.

Solvent-based wax dispersions are used by can and coil producers, automotive paint producers, printing inks, wood- and industrial coating customers worldwide. The new facility aims to start commercial production by the end of 2026 .
