Rhodia Nearing Completion of Silicone Plant Relocation

---

Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated; Houston, Texas). Rhodia Incorporated (NYSE: RHA) (Cranbury, New Jersey) will complete relocation plans announced earlier this year of its specialty elastomers business to a plant located in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Some modifications of the Rock Hill plant including building additions were necessary to accommodate the production equipment at the cost of approximately $2 million.

AME Incorporated (Fort Mill, South Carolina) was hired as the general contractor and coordinated the construction and relocation schedules for most of the project. The production equipment that was relocated produces silicone elastomers for the mould making market, textile coatings, aerospace, and construction industries.
