雪佛龙奥伦耐公司为中国工厂项目举行开工仪式

　　SAN RAMON, Calif., October 22, 2018 – Chevron Oronite hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on October 19 to mark the beginning of construction on a wholly-owned additive manufacturing plant in Ningbo, a seaport city in northeast Zhejiang Province, the People’s Republic of China. The facility is planned to open as a blending and shipping operation, followed by a phased expansion into component manufacturing as lubricant additive demand grows. The company anticipates a completion date in late 2020 and the beginning of commercial production in 2021.

　　加利福尼亚州圣拉蒙市，2018年10月22日- 雪佛龙奥伦耐公司于10月19日为其独资的润滑油添加剂制造厂项目举行了开工仪式，该项目场址位于中国浙江省东北部海港城市宁波。该工厂初期主要从事添加剂产品调和与运输业务，之后随着中国市场对添加剂产品需求的增长，奥伦耐公司将分期对工厂进行扩建，最终实现添加剂单剂的生产。该项目预计在2020年底完成建设，并将于2021年实现商业投产。

　　“The combination of increased investment, both in technology and now in manufacturing clearly reflects the importance of China in Oronite’s overall strategy,” said Bruce Chinn, president, Chevron Oronite. “Adding a manufacturing facility in China will enhance our supply capabilities to meet the growing demand for our products in the future, and will also complement our other strategic manufacturing locations around the world, including a world-scale additives plant in Singapore, the largest such facility in Asia, that is currently servicing our customers very well in China and the rest of Asia.”

　　“同时在技术方面和制造厂方面扩大投资清楚地表明中国市场对于奥伦耐整体发展战略的重要性，”雪佛龙奥伦耐公司总裁Bruce Chinn先生说到。“在中国新建生产厂将进一步增强公司的产品供应能力，以满足市场对我们产品不断增长的需求，并将对我司在全球其他战略要地已建成的工厂形成有益补充，其中包括已在新加坡建成的全亚洲最大的世界级添加剂生产厂，该工厂目前为中国及亚洲其他地区的客户提供优质产品。”

　　The land where the manufacturing facility will be located is part of the Ningbo Economic and Technical Development Zone (NETD), which is located near the Ningbo Port, one of the largest ports in the world in terms of annual cargo throughput.

　　此次开工建设的新厂位于宁波经济技术开发区（NETD），该开发区位于宁波港附近。宁波港目前是世界上年货物吞吐量最大的港口之一。

　　“NETD is one of the first 14 state-level development zones approved by the State Council of China. At present, there are more than 40 Global Fortune-500 companies investing in NETD,” said Mr. Shen Endong, deputy director, Administration Committee, NETD. “The Oronite China Manufacturing Plant project is the most technically advanced project in the field of new chemical materials introduced since the establishment of the NETD, which will definitely push forward its industrial upgrade.”

　　“宁波经济技术开发区是国务院批准的第一批14个国家级开发区之一，目前已经有40余家世界500强企业在开发区投资项目。” NETD管委会副主任沈恩东先生谈到，“雪佛龙项目是宁波开发区成立以来引进的化工新材料领域最领先的项目，必将对宁波开发区的产业水平提升带来非常大的帮助。”

　　Oronite is celebrating its 20th anniversary in China this year, as it began serving its customers directly from Beijing in 1998. After continued growth in China, the company’s focus over the last several years has been on expanding its in-country technical support and product development capabilities, highlighted by the opening of a technology center in Shanghai in 2015. In parallel, work was also underway to identify a strategic location for a China manufacturing facility, culminating in the recent groundbreaking ceremony in Ningbo.

　　奥伦耐公司自1998年起通过其在北京设立的办事处直接服务于中国客户，今年还为纪念进驻中国市场20周年举办了庆典活动。得益于中国市场的持续增长，该公司过去几年一直致力于在中国增强其技术支持和产品研发能力，并于2015年在上海成立了技术中心。另一方面，该公司集中精力为中国制造工厂甄选场址，最终选择落户宁波并在此举行了开工仪式。

　　“We congratulate Oronite’s China project team for its excellent work over these last few years and we are very excited to see construction now underway,” said Koon Eng Goh, general manager, Manufacturing and Supply Chain, Asia-Pacific Region, Chevron Oronite. “We would also like to thank NETD for the strong support they have given us during this process. They are an important reason why Oronite chose this strategic location, which will help us to serve our customers’ future needs and build relationships throughout China that will endure for years to come.”

　　“我们对奥伦耐中国项目团队在过去几年中所完成的出色工作表示祝贺，我们很高兴看到工厂终于得以开工建设”雪佛龙奥伦耐公司亚太区制造和供应链总经理吴功荣先生提到。“我们还要感谢NETD在此过程中给予我们的大力支持。这是奥伦耐选择宁波作为战略投资要地的重要原因之一，这将有助于我们进一步满足客户未来的需求，并在全国市场与他们建立起长久的合作关系。”

　　The company signed an initial investment agreement in China in March 2015 and later that year created a wholly foreign-owned enterprise based in Ningbo. In December 2016, Oronite announced that it had advanced to the engineering and design phase of the project. Then in June 2018, the company announced it had made the final investment decision to move forward on its plans.

　　该公司于2015年3月在中国签署了初步投资协议，并于当年下半年在宁波成立了一家外商独资企业。2016年12月，奥伦耐宣布该项目已进入初步设计阶段。之后于2018年6月，该公司宣布已作出最终投资决定以进一步推进其投资计划。
