Eastman is a global specialty materials company that develops innovative materials and specialty chemicals for a wide range of industries, including automotive, construction, and consumer applications. With a strong focus on innovation and sustainability, the company plays a key role in the development of high-performance plastic films and chemical solutions. Its European site in Ghent is a crucial hub, employing around 1,000 people in both production and research.
To support its continued growth, Eastman is expanding its production facility in Ghent with the addition of a fourth production line. This expansion not only increases production capacity but also creates new jobs and further strengthens the site’s position as an innovation hub within the group. The focus is, among other things, on applications for the automotive industry and more sustainable production processes.
At the upgraded site, Winlock will provide a range of fire-resistant solutions to ensure safety and operational continuity, including fire-resistant sectional shutters, doors, and roller shutters with different fire-resistance ratings.
