Fluor Corporation won the engineering, procurement and construction management contract for Valvoline's new blending and packaging facility in Zhangjiagang, China, its first plant in China. The contract value was undisclosed, and the plant will produce over 30 million gallons of lubricants and coolants a year.
Valvoline plans to build its first plant in China, a 80,000-square-meter blending and packaging facility in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu province, with about $70 million investment. Production is expected to begin by the end of 2020 with capacity above 30 million gallons of lubricants annually.
Valvoline chose Aptar to supply closure and packaging technology, including its BAP technology, for a new five-liter Easy Pour motor oil bottle for DIY users.
