US global chemicals and plastics group DuPont is constructing a new plant for the production of films for laminated glass in the Moravian town of Holesov in the Czech Republic. Through its local subsidiary Retrim-CZ, a specialist in recycling PVB (polyvinyl butyral resin) materials, acquired in 2004, DuPont is investing about EUR 9.2 million in the new facility, which initially will employ 15, and is scheduled to be launched in October 2010. DuPont already produces safety glass interlayer materials at plants in South Korea, the US and Germany, and made the Czech acquisition to boost its presence in central and Eastern Europe. Moreover, in 2009, the US group, which employs a total of 111 people in the Czech Republic, also opened a structural demonstration centre in Prague.
