PCC is making progress on its plan to establish an Oxyalkylates production in the USA, thereby advancing the expansion of the PCC Group’s core business areas in the important US market. PCC has now reached a milestone at the possible location in Bay City, Matagorda County, Texas, on the Gulf of Mexico. On September 15, 2023, the project company PCC Chemicals Corporation signed a terminable lease agreement with the Port of Bay City for a property in the immediate vicinity of the port there. Although the site selection and final investment decision is far from over, the contract with the port ensures that PCC Chemicals Corporation has the opportunity to intensively examine an investment at this location as part of due diligence.
“Working with the Port of Bay City and fellow entities over these past two years have been a most enjoyable experience,” said Dr. Peter Wenzel, CEO of PCC SE, and emphasized: “We still have many several project milestones to achieve and will require additional partnerships for the economic development of the project.”
