Sumitomo slates polarizer plant

August 14, 2006 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 84, Issue 33

Sumitomo Chemical will build a plant in Torun, Poland, that makes polarizers for the liquid-crystal display industry. Scheduled to open in mid-2007, the $43 million facility will initially employ 250 people. It will supply up to 500,000 finished polarizers per month to a nearby Sharp facility manufacturing 37-inch liquid-crystal displays. The plant will also produce up to 5,000 metric tons per year of light-diffusion panels. After Nitto Denko, Sumitomo is the second largest producer of polarizers used in making LCD television sets.
