　　上海市政協副主席王新奎、松江區副區長張培榮、美國駐上海總領事館首席商務領事白瑞基（William Brekke），以及道康寧的客戶、合作伙伴及員工共同參加了慶祝儀式。這次松江工廠的擴建標志著道康寧在中國發展的又一個重要里程碑。采用無溶劑有機硅產品正在成為紙張離型劑工業的一個全球性趨勢，此次擴建也彰顯了道康寧不斷發掘硅潛力的承諾，致力于用創新惠及世界各地人群。

　　道康寧大中華區總裁張康明(Jeremy Burks)表示：“中國市場一直是道康寧成功的重要貢獻者。我們在中國不斷擴大生產能力并持續創新，從而為客戶提供量身定制的產品和解決方案。道康寧在中國本地生產的無溶劑有機硅離型劑產品再一次證明了我們向客戶提供先進的產品和解決方案，并且始終致力于可持續的負責任的發展。”

　　自1973年進入中國市場以來，道康寧已經為中國帶來了無數的創新解決方案。至今，公司在中國的投資總額已經超過20億美元，并建立了三個主要基地：今天慶祝擴建的道康寧松江工廠是道康寧的亞洲特殊化學品生產樞紐；位于江蘇省張家港市的道康寧有機硅綜合生產基地是世界一流、中國規模最大的有機硅綜合生產基地的重要組成；以及位于上海張江的道康寧中國商務技術中心。這三個基地優勢互補、相輔相成，為客戶提供完整全面的本地創新、生產和服務。如此充分整合的本地供應鏈使客戶能夠受益于更可靠的本地制造和供應，縮短產品交貨時間，減少因越洋運輸而產生的成本，進而減少運輸產生的碳足跡。

　　道康寧特殊化學品業務全球副總裁麥榮德(Patrick McLeod) 指出：“道康寧在全球已經有近七十年的歷史了。無論在哪里運營，我們都致力于獨特的、卓越的客戶服務，并因此保持公司成功。隨著紙張離型劑工業的全球趨勢從溶劑型技術轉向采用無溶劑產品，我們在中國的綜合、全面的服務能夠完美地滿足這方面的客戶需求。此外，我們在中國進行的本地生產和提供的綜合服務，能幫助客戶在其生產過程中融入創新方案、提高生產效率，提升細分市場份額并在國際市場上更具競爭力。”

　　“通過融合高效的節能設計和技術以及提高原材料使用效率的先進工藝，我們致力于將環境、健康和安全（EHS）原則貫穿于道康寧的所有業務活動中，繼續為行業的可持續的、負責任的發展作出貢獻。” 麥榮德補充道。

　　道康寧松江工廠于1997年建成，占地12公頃，是公司在中國第一家生產工廠。該生產基地的產品包括乳液、密封膠、粘合劑和密封劑，服務美容護理、電子、建筑、紙張以及紡織品和皮革等許多行業。此次松江工廠擴建使客戶能采用本地化生產的無溶劑有機硅離型劑產品，變得更環保，而且能夠更好地符合環境法規的要求，從而為壓敏工業帶來了更多的益處。

　　道康寧嚴格遵循責任關懷®原則，采取多項措施以持續減少松江工廠的廢棄物排放，降低對環境的影響，實現資源回收利用。例如，在整個新建的制造系統中，最大限度地減少有機溶劑的使用，降低了公司的總體碳足跡，同時為客戶提供了更環保的無溶劑有機硅離型劑產品。此外，松江工廠還使用了閉路蒸汽回收系統，回收和再利用生產過程中產生的蒸汽，這不但降低了產生額外蒸汽的需求，而且減少了生產基地總體水和能源的消耗。

Dow Corning (Shanghai) Co. Ltd.’s Songjiang Site Ushers in New Era of Advanced Manufacturing

World-class Site Enhances Efficiency for Regional Customers and Bolsters EHS Commitments

　　Songjiang, Shanghai – Dow Corning (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Dow Corning Corporation, a global leader in silicones, silicon-based technology and innovation, today celebrated the completion of its multi-million USD expansion at the Shanghai Songjiang site that marks one of the largest single investments in China’s paper release industry to date. The newly established solventless silicone manufacturing system demonstrates the company’s continued effort to increasing efficiency in the regional supply chain and brings environmental and financial benefits for customers across China and the Asia Pacific region because no solvents are used.

　　Supported by Mr. Wang Xinkui, Vice Chairman of Shanghai People's Political Consultative Committee; Mr. Zhang Peirong, Songjiang District Vice Governor; William Brekke, Principal Commercial Officer at U.S. Consulate General Shanghai as well as customers in the region and Dow Corning employees, the celebration signifies a key milestone in the company’s development in China and represents Dow Corning’s continued commitment to unleashing the power of silicon as the use of solventless silicone products become a global trend.

　　“The China market has been a significant contributor to our success and expanding our manufacturing presence allows us to continue innovating and providing tailor-made products and solutions for our customers here,” said Jeremy Burks, Dow Corning Greater China President. “Our solventless silicone system is a great example of the cutting-edge of technology we offer our customers and which also supports our commitment to sustainable and responsible development.”

　　Since entering the China market in 1973, Dow Corning’s solutions have brought numerous innovations to China. To date, its combined investment in China is more than $2 billion USD and the company’s three major facilities in China - the newly expanded manufacturing Songjiang site that serves as the Asia Specialty Chemicals Hub; Zhangjiagang’s world-class manufacturing facility that is an integral part of China’s largest integrated silicone production site as well as Shanghai’s Dow Corning China Business and Technology Center – are pivotal to providing a complete and complementary local service offering. This fully integrated local supply chain enables customers to benefit from a more reliable supply of locally produced products; a reduced lead time on products’ delivery; and lower costs and a diminished carbon footprint due to reduced trans-ocean freight costs.

　　“Dow Corning has been operating for nearly seven decades worldwide and our continued success is attributed to our unique global commitment to excellence in customer service wherever we operate,” said Patrick McLeod, Dow Corning Business Vice President, Specialty Chemicals. “With the global industry trend shifting from solvent-based technology toward adopting solventless products, our integrated service in China is perfectly positioned to meet this demand. Furthermore, our local supply and integrated service offering in China allow our regional customers to increase their market segment share and better compete in the world marketplace by enabling them to incorporate innovations into their product lifecycles and production efficiency.”

　　“Through incorporating highly efficient energy designs and technology and advanced processes for raw material efficiency, we are committed to applying environmental, health and safety (EHS) principles throughout our business so that we can continue contributing to our industry’s sustainable and responsible development.” added McLeod.

　　The 12-hectare Songjiang site was established in 1997 and was Dow Corning’s first manufacturing plant in China. Serving a number of industries, including beauty care, electronics, construction, paper as well as textile and leather, the site today manufactures products ranging from emulsions to sealants, adhesives and encapsulants. The newly established solventless silicone manufacturing system brings further benefits to the local paper industry. By enabling local manufacturers to incorporate solventless silicone release coating products into their production processes, it makes their production has less impact on the environment while better meeting environmental regulations because of the lack of solvent.

　　Strictly adhering to the Responsible Care® principles, a number of measures have been adopted to enable Dow Corning to continue minimizing waste, reducing environmental footprint through less use of solvents and recycling resources at the site. For example, the minimization of organic solvent throughout the newly installed manufacturing system has enabled Dow Corning to reduce its overall impact on the environment. A close-loop steam recovery system has also been adopted to recycle and reuse steam generated as part of the production process, which not only decreases the need to generate additional steam, but also reduces overall water and energy consumption on-site.
