The project demonstrates Hosokawa Micron’s confidence in continued investment in the future of their dedicated and expert workforce, sustained plans for innovative development in powder processing and materials science technologies and a long term commitment to their global customer base.
Construction will commence in 2018 and is expected to be completed in 2020.
