Sumitomo Chemical will expand methionine capacity in Ehime on the Japanese island of Shikoku by 65% to 250,000 metric tons per year.

Competitor Evonik Industries is currently building a second methionine facility in Singapore that will have a capacity of 150,000 metric tons per year. Methionine is an amino acid given to pigs and poultry.
