The opening ceremony was attended by an esteemed group of 80 guests, including the German Consul in Santa Cruz de la Sierra Jens Ruben Heymert, the Vice President of the Bolivian-German Chamber of Commerce Bernd Stahmer, directors of the Society of Engineers of Bolivia (SIB), representatives of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (CAINCO), Jaques Pinto, MC-Bauchemie’s LATAM Regional Director, and other prominent people from the construction and industrial sectors.

Modern production plant for construction chemicals

The state-of-the-art plant is dedicated to the production of liquid products such as acrylates, concrete admixtures, curing agents, waterproofing solutions, and release agents. In its initial phase, the plant will have a production capacity of up to one million litres per month to meet the needs of the Bolivian market, while also creating opportunities for export to international markets. Looking ahead, MC-Bauchemie plans to expand the plant by 2026 to include the production of powder-based products, such as pre-dosed cementitious mortars, further cementing its commitment to innovation and growth in the region.

“This plant is more than just a production facility; it’s a testament to our belief in Bolivia’s potential for growth and its ability to become a regional leader in construction materials,” said Jaques Pinto, LATAM Regional Director of MC-Bauchemie, during the inauguration ceremony.

It also utilised the expertise of local professionals and labour, creating significant new employment opportunities.

The new facility is in line with MC-Bauchemie's broader international expansion strategy in South America, joining a network that includes operations in Brazil, Chile and Peru. The company continues to foster collaboration between its regional operations and its headquarters in Germany, ensuring a consistent exchange of expertise and best practices.
