Sumitomo Chemical is set to build a new PLN1.6m ($470,000) plant to produce aluminum titanate diesel particulate filters at its subsidiary Sumika Ceramics Poland Spolka Z Ograniczona Odpowiedzialnoscia.
The plant is expected to commence operations in the third quarter of 2013.
Diesel particulate filters are used to filter soot from the exhaust of vehicles with diesel engines.
According to the Euro6 exhaust gas emissions regulation, the usage of diesel particulate filters will be mandated as standard equipment vehicles powered by such engines in Europe.
