Arkema expands its PVDF production capacity in North America
On June 23, 2026, Arkema announced the completion of a 15% increase in its PVDF production capacity in Calvert City, Kentucky. This $20 million investment aims to meet the growing demand for energy storage systems and semiconductors, as well as the rapid expansion of data centers.
Originally announced in February 2025, the project was completed on schedule and within budget. This success underscores Arkema's leadership in the sector, strengthening its position in the North American market.
The Calvert City plant plays a crucial role as a local supply hub for strategic markets. Furthermore, Arkema plans to increase PVDF capacity at its China site by 20% by 2028.
