“The wax plant expansion project is a key development project for Shell MDS as it will enable us to double our current wax output. There is a growing market for this unique product. We will strengthen our position as a leading producer of high quality waxes. ” said Dick Benschop, Managing Director of Shell MDS. “This expansion project further demonstrates Shell’s continued commitment to Shell MDS and Malaysia. I am pleased to share that the majority of the contracts and jobs involved in this expansion project will be awarded to local Malaysian companies,” Benschop added. The expansion project activity will involve about 30 Malaysian companies and a total of 500 Malaysians acting as design consultants, vendors, material suppliers and construction contractors in the project team. Shell MDS’ GTL waxes are premium synthetic products because of their unique properties, namely their high linearity and narrow carbon number distribution which are a testament to its purity. GTL waxes also have an opaque white appearance and are virtually odourless making it ideal for use in applications requiring the addition of colour or fragrances. Shell MDS’ GTL waxes are used in a wide range of industrial applications such as hot-melt adhesives, printing inks, packaging, fibreboards, PVC lubricants, plastic processing, candles and coatings. - END - ENQUIRIES:
