(3,811 posts)Mitsubishi Chemical is building a plant in Memphis, TN to produce electrolytes for use in Nissan's new Leaf electric cars. The plant is going up as fast as it can be built. We've done all of the detailed design for the plant and we're now substantially involved in the construction support. On the other end, we're now working on several projects for Nissan to support the construction of their new electrolyte plant at the Nissan facility in Smyrna, TN. All of this work was made possible by US government loans to support energy investment in the US.
But it's not just green energy. Companies that had put projects on hold in 2008 are restarting projects. One example is a project for a manufacturer of vinyl ester resins to expand their production capacity. The resins are used in a variety of building products. The project had been put on hold in 2008, but they are going ahead with it now. We're swamped, actually.
