Akzo Nobel NV (AKZA.AE) announced plans on Monday to expand its production of chloromethanes in Germany.

The company said that it had recently increased production for the chemicals--used in pharmaceuticals and electronics--when it upgraded a plant in Frankfurt.

Akzo Nobel General Manager Jurgen Baune said that the company is confident it can accelerate its chloromethanes business by stretching the current asset base to the maximum.
