When complete, the firm said the production capacity of hindered phenolic antioxidants—Anox 20 and Anox PP18—along with its phosphate antioxidant Alkanox 240 will double to 10,500 metric tons.

GSI’s board of directors recently unveiled plans to expand production of Anox NDB product line to 24,000 metric tons per year to meet growing demand for a range of higher performing products.

“We have worked closely with our customers in the Middle East since 2001, when we were the first additive company to invest in the region,” said Peter Smith, Addivant CEO and GSI chairman. “GSI remains the only local manufacturer of antioxidants, and we are committed to support our customers with innovation, security of supply and overall value.”
