The Chemours Co. will spend $230 million the next three years to expand its facility in Ingleside to produce a refrigerant required in European cars.
The former DuPont plant is located on 600 acres along the banks of the LaQuinta Channel. It's here that Chemours, which spun off from DuPont in July, plans to triple the capacity of its Opteon products, a strategy its officials believe enable it to capitalize on growth opportunity.
"The Corpus Christi area has been an important location for our business, and the facility to be constructed here will ensure this site will continue to be a strategic one for Chemours," said Bob Barger, plant manager of Chemours' Corpus Christi site. "This decision reflects the strong contribution that has been made by employees at the Corpus Christi site over time."
Chemours hopes to break ground on the facility in the third quarter this year, though it still needs an air permit from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Barger said. The plant is expected to be open by third quarter of 2018.
