Lubrizol Breaks Ground on New Additive Facility in Zhuhai    

On October 15th the Lubrizol Corporation broke ground on its new additive plant in Gaolan Port Economic Zone, Zhuhai, Guangdong province, south China. The manufacturing site will be developed and phased in to meet market demand.
   The plant is scheduled to commence operations in the first half of 2013. Production at the plant will focus on select additive components, eventually incorporating driveline, industrial and fuel components, manufacturing and blending. It is estimated that the Zhuhai facility will require an investment in excess of US$200 million over the next three years. The new plant will be complementary to Lubrizol's existing joint venture, Lanzhou Lubrizol Lanlian Additive Co Ltd.
