Evonik Industries – whose chemicals business was formerly known as Degussa, is developing a greenfield integrated methyl methacrylates and methacrylate specialties production plant in Shanghai, (known as MATCH).

This world‑scale facility will produce products to supply the optoelectronics, paint and adhesives, and automobile industries.

MaisonWorleyParsons commenced early in the project, as part of an integrated team to support the government approval process and develop a preliminary design package. Involvement continued through basic engineering and the provision of EPCM services for the process units and all related infrastructure and utilities. The use of state-of-the-art design tools and our extensive Chinese procurement capability enabled construction to commence in September 2007. The total site workforce is expected to peak at 2,500 people before completion in 2009.

The MATCH project continues our long relationship with Evonik – Degussa, where, safety is at the forefront of our performance goals. This strong focus on safety was rewarded in April 2008 when the MATCH site achieved the safety milestone of two million man‑hours worked without a lost time injury.
