LG Chem says it will build an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin compounding plant in Ohio, as well as polymer-related technical centers in Ohio and Germany. The South Korean firm says the projects, to cost a total of about $150 million, are aimed at better serving customers in the US and Europe.
