Accoya USA, the first ever U.S. Accoya manufacturing site is now commercially operational. The production facility, a joint venture between Accsys and Eastman Chemical Company, replicates the design and technology of Accsys’ established production facility in the Netherlands and has an initial capacity of 43,000m³. The site creates 46 skilled new jobs in Kingsport, Tennessee.
Dr. Jelena Arsic van Os, CEO of Accsys Technologies PLC commented: “This important international expansion is a huge milestone for Accsys and Accoya USA. We have created a supply proximity to our North American customers allowing us to efficiently serve the largest and the most attractive wood market in the world with the most durable and stable wood product available in the marketplace.”
Accoya demand has been growing in North America, with the product having been specified for some high-profile projects including the zero carbon Marisol Malibu, the restoration of Minnesota State Capitol and the Rivington Hotel, Manhattan.
Accsys is the fast-growing and eco-friendly company that combines chemistry and technology to create high performance, sustainable wood building products.
