Ferro has broken ground in Castellon, Spain, for a plant that will produce colors for the European tile market. It expects the 20,000-metric-ton-per-year facility to open in October 2007.

And in Waukegan, Ill., Ferro Pfanstiehl Laboratories has opened a pilot facility that uses supercritical fluids to produce pharmaceutical nano- and microparticles under current Good Manufacturing Practices conditions.
