Construction of the new Elementis Pigments plant at TaiCang, China, began in June 2003. Commissioning started in 2004 and commercial production began in February 2005.

The new facility will provide Elementis with a world-class iron oxide manufacturing unit and will substantially lower the cost base for the Pigments business. Additional granular product capacity has also been added to the existing Pigments plant at Shenzhen, China, in order to meet increased demand.
