The new plant, 3M Materials Technologies (Hefei), will produce a variety of products at the new facility, including 3M Scotchshield Film, an advanced solar backside barrier film used in crystalline silicon solar photovoltaic modules.
Construction work at the facility will begin this year and will be completed in two phases.
The new facility is a continuum of 3M’s global expansion.
At present, the company’s operations in China include manufacturing, business offices, technical service and R&D facilities.
