Armacell launches new facility in Bahrain

Armacell, a leading provider of engineered foams, has opened its new manufacturing facility in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Bahraini government representatives and Armacell executives attended the ceremonial opening in the Bahrain International Investment Park.

HE Zayed R Alzayani, Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, said: “Bahrain’s government is committed to creating an environment that attracts and supports the leading companies in the world. We will continue to collaborate with leading companies to anchor high value-added manufacturing, adopt advanced manufacturing technologies and equip our people with the requisite skill sets. Our partnership with Armacell is a good example of how we are doing this.”

Production at the Bahraini site was launched immediately. When fully operational, 60,000 cubic metres of technical insulation foam will be produced per year in Bahrain, providing a wide range of insulation solutions for the domestic market, including high-density materials and elastomeric insulation for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems.
