建筑業、消費品領域及工業制造市場專用膠黏劑全球領先生產商Bostik日前宣布位于達拉斯的新工廠正式啟動，該工廠是Bostik全球在建的多個戰略性工廠之一。

　　該工廠主要生產板用粘接劑(簡稱CTA)和地板制劑產品。

　　Bostik美國區高級副總裁Bob Marquette說：“很高興能以此擴大我們在美國的制造業務，達拉斯是新建筑領域的重要市場，‘生產靠近市場’是我們在建筑領域業務發展的戰略核心。新工廠能為客戶提供更優質的現場技術服務的同時，還具備運費降低、交付便利且及時等優點。”

　　新工廠的新設備，設計實現了高度自動化，保證產品質量的同時并可確保生產的安全高效性。此外，達拉斯工廠還將提供現代化的現場培訓和設備操作演示。
