After the establishment of the company in March 1991, with completion of the MMA Plants 1 and 2 having an annual capacity of 100,000 MT, as well as the PMMA Plant 1 having an annual capacity of 50,000 MT, in 2005 the PMMA Plant 2 with a bulk polymerization method was completed in the Yeosu National Industrial Complex, the mecca of the Korean chemical industry, allowing the company to have an additional production capacity of 40,000 MT of PMMA. In addition, LX MMA is leading the way in realizing the management ideology of creating value for customers and respect for human beings, by providing high quality products and services in the most quick and convenient manner through continuous joint research and development projects with our joint venture partners.
