Following construction of three other sanitizer plants, Ineos announced that it is to build a fourth hand sanitizer plant. The plant to be built in Etian, France will be located to serve the hard-hit hospitals in Paris and Northeastern France, as well as meet the needs of Belgium.

 

The company has also announced that it has met its ten-day target to build a hand sanitizer plant in Lavera, France and has started production of 1 million hand sanitizers a month.

 

The company is focusing on meeting the needs of front line medical and care services as well as making “pocket bottle” hand sanitizers available for people’s personal use. These will be produced as per World Health Organisation (WHO) specifications. 

 

Jim Ratcliffe, founder and chairman of Ineos said, “I am extremely proud of the INEOS team who have already built three production facilities in literally a few days, with a fourth following next week. I believe these hand sanitisers will play a key role in the fight against the Coronavirus and will help protect hospital front line staff who deserve all the help we can give them.”
