More than 100 attendees came to the celebrations, among others officials from local, county and state governments, neighbors, and area business leaders, CHT employees, CTO Dr. Bernhard Hettich as representative of CHT`s Global management team, and members of the press.

For the Cass County location, the construction of a new facility measuring approximately 45,000 square feet, equipped with five reactors and distillation units, led to an expansion of the company's total area to 120,000 square feet. This expansion will provide ample room for accommodating extra reactors and downstream processes. The expansion of the CHT USA site has also generated around 30 high-skilled job opportunities within the local community.

Ken Kemerer, CHT USA Managing Director, said: “This investment represents CHT`s commitment to growth in the Cassopolis community and increased opportunities for our employees. In addition, the expansion provides the infrastructure to better serve our customers in the Western hemisphere and expand our markets with innovative sustainable products.”
