Albemarle’s Growth in China
Albemarle has a strategic objective to significantly grow its presence in China. In July 2005, Albemarle established a wholly foreign owned entity in Nanjing with a registered capital of USD 20,000,000. This entity, Albemarle Chemicals (Nanjing) Company, Limited, has purchased 100 mu (67,000 m2) in the Nanjing Chemical Industry Park. In July 2008, Albemarle Corporation increased investment to 100% ownership of Jinhai Albemarle. In December 2008, new joint venture - Shandong Sinobrom Albemarle Bromine Chemicals Co., Ltd. was set up.

China Technical Center
Albemarle’s growth in the Asia Pacific region and in particular China will depend largely on the ability to provide technical service to the customers who use Albemarle’s products. For that reason, Albemarle has constructed a Research & Development Center at the Nanjing site. Operations at the Technical Center started in December 2006. In the initial operating phase, the Technical Center will focus on technical service for customers in the polyurethane foam, polyolefin, and thermoplastics industries. In a future phase, the Technical Center will expand the facilities to provide the capability to develop new products for Albemarle’s polymer additive, catalyst, and fine chemical portfolios.

Nanjing Manufacturing Facilities
Albemarle has announced that the Nanjing Chemical Industry Park site will be its manufacturing base in China. Construction of a facility to repackage aluminum alkyls to support sales to the polyolefin industry in China started operations in April 2006. Construction of a facility to produce phosphorous-based flame retardants for the polyurethane foam and thermoplastics markets is now in progress with start-up scheduled for Q1 2008. Albemarle is the world’s largest producer of flame retardant products, and the construction of the flame retardant facility in Nanjing is critical to maintaining this leadership position. The products manufactured in this facility will be sold in the fast growing China market and exported to customers in the United States, Europe, and South America. Albemarle currently operates manufacturing facilities producing these products in the United States and the United Kingdom, but the Nanjing site has been selected as the site for future expansion; therefore, it is likely that the phosphorous-based flame retardant plant will be expanded in the near future.
