Project Description

The Project Company is CSRC China Corporation, which acquired the carbon black assets from the Maanshan Golden Star Group (“MGSG”), a wholly owned state-owned enterprise (SOE) of the Maanshan city government.

The proposed project is to: i) modernize the existing production lines; ii) expand the carbon black production capacity from 25,000 tpy to 60,000 tp; iii) expand the electrical co-generation capacity from 3.0 MW to 4.5 MW; and iv) improve environmental and safety conditions at the plant.

The IFC investment will help transform an inefficient SOE into a sustainable, world-class business that will operate according to sound commercial principles, strong environmental performance and good corporate governance. IFC''s investment will also promote the transfer of advanced technology and managerial know-how from the Sponsor to the local workforce. The Project will demonstrate innovative ways in addressing the issue of redundant workers from MGSG. By working closely with the Maanshan city government, and creating a new specialized service Small & Medium Enterprise (SME), redundant employees will be employed by providing catering, security, packaging and janitorial services to the Company.
