Syensqo is investing in a new compounding line for high-performance aromatic polymers at its Panoli site in India, strengthening its ability to serve customers in one of the world’s fastest-growing automotive markets.

Syensqo’s Panoli site in India.

Syensqo’s aromatic polymers are used in demanding automotive applications where high-temperature and chemical resistance, mechanical performance and lightweighting are critical.

Planned to be operational by Q1 2028, the new line will double Syensqo’s current compounding capacity at Panoli site and will be the first asset in a modular compounding hub designed to provide flexibility across Syensqo’s aromatic polymers portfolio.

It will be capable of compounding a broad range of materials, including Ryton polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), KetaSpire polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Amodel polyphthalamide (PPA) and Ixef polyarylamide (PARA).

The investment strengthens Syensqo’s supply capabilities in India, serving local and global automotive manufacturers and suppliers while also addressing opportunities in other industries.

It also aligns with the broader localization of manufacturing and supply chains encouraged by the Government of India’s Make in India initiative.
