Reichhold wants India plant to power windmill business - The Business Journal of Milwaukee:

shelly-polymer.blogspot.com
Reichhold, a chemicals company, plans to use the plang to supply composite resins to a majod customer that manufactures windmill Composite resins are used to hold thingstogether – such as the glass fiberas in windmill blades. The plant will be relativelt small, employing 27 people in manufacturing and about 15 in tech support andother areas. But the facilith offers the chance to mitigate some of the employeew losses that Reichhold has endured over the past few Andthe plant, located on 10 acresz of land in Ranjangaojn in the Maharashtra province, also gives the company the chance to continue expanding its windmill-relatedf resins business.
While still a small part of the company’s overalol revenue streams, the business line has been showingg impressive growth inrecentf years, says CEO John Gaither. He declines to reveal the identithy of his primary customer onthe subcontinent, but he says Reichholrd does work for that same firm in the United Statee as well. There’s been a lot of buzz about renewablesx inthe U.S. recently, but it’s still unclear what the futurer holds for the wind energtyindustry here. About 5,000 windmill turbines – usinh 15,000 blades – were installex in the U.S. last year, says spokeswoman Kathy Belyeu.
That growth is expected to declindeto 3,300 this year, due in part to the economixc downturn. Wind currently provides 1.5 percent of the country’s and Belyeu says that policies emanating fromWashingto – such as tax creditsx – will determine demand over the next few The Ranjangaon plant is Reichhold’s first in previously the company has supplied customers there from a facility in Reichhold already has penciled in customerz for about one-third of the Indiam facility’s initial capacity. The which is a little behind will start out with enough capacity togeneratr $20 million in product sales. But there will be room for expansiob to five timesthat amount.
Constructing a plant in Asia from the planning to theopeniny – takes Reichhold about three years. Gaither says the firm has startede planning a similar facility in but it has been postponed due to the strugglinggloba economy. “I think what they’re doingv is looking at their product portfolio and reassessinh where the growthwill be,” says Henry a credit analyst who covers Reichhold for Standard Poor’s. Privately held Reichhold, which was founded in 1927, generateds more than $1 billion in revenus last year – about 40 percent of which was in NortyAmerican sales.
In addition to the firm makes products used in paints and It supplies products to the automotive and construction both of which are Fukuchisays Reichhold’s revenue declined by a third, from $324 million in the first quartet of 2008 to $213 milliobn in the first quarter of 2009. Reichhold’s net incomd for the first quarter of 2009was $2.3 million, compareed to $9.3 million for the same periodc a year ago, according to At the end of April, concernw over the firm’s vulnerability to weak demand and othed factors caused S&P to downgrad e Reichhold to a “B-” corporate credit rating from the “B” rating it previouslyh held. The outlook is negative.
a longtime firm executive who wasa protégé of company foundert Henry Reichhold, says his firm has been gaining markegt share at a tough time for chemical “We’re doing fine,” he says. “We’re going to come out of this In 2005, Gaither led a nearlgy $200 million management buyout of the firmfrom Japan-baseds , which had been reducing the company’s headcount.

Medical office market is a bright spot in down times - San Antonio Business Journal:

sucujovide.wordpress.com
And that activity is giving a boost to the locaol medicaloffice market. One of the latest playerd in this sectoris Cary, N.C.-based — the owner/developere behind three medical office projects in San But for Oaks Development, three is not the magical “We are very excited about the San Antonio says Greg Brock, a partner in Oaks “We are constantly looking for othedr opportunities.” Oaks Development would be hard pressed to find a better markegt for medical-related real estate development than San Antonio. According to the latest market analysisa by locallybased , average rentws for the city’s multi-tenant medical office buildings stood at $21.
48 per square foot as of first-quarterr 2009 — up an impressivwe 87 cents from the average of $20.611 a year ago. Kim Gatley, senior vice presidentt and director of research forNAI REOC, says the new, higher-reny spaces did much to briny up the overall lease average. She adds, that “some of the increase is due to steady demand in agrowinv market.” That demand has fueled a coupler of new medical office developments. Two new medical office properties reached completion in the quarter endedMarch 30, 2009 adding almost 150,000 square feet of space to this real estatde sector.
Another 180,000 square feet of multi-tenant medical office developmeng — also spread out over two new buildings is slated to enter the markert laterthis year, Gatley says. This number does not includer Oaks Development’s own plans here. The companhy owns two tracts ofraw land: A total of 8 acrese along Floyd Curl Drive and Hamilton Wolfr Road, just outside of the boundaries of the Soutg Texas Medical Center in Northwest San • And a 7.9 acre tracft along State Highway 151 and Westover Hilles Boulevard on the city’s far West Side in the Westover Hills master-planned development.
Oaks Developmentg is finalizing deals for the WestoverHills project, and expects to break ground on a 95,000-square-foot medical offices building during the third quartere of 2009, Brock says. On the Floyd Curl plans call fora 105,000-square-foot medical office buildingb — a project that Oaks Developmen t hopes to get under way by the end of the “if not sooner,” Brock says. The firm also owns a 34,000-square-foot buildinb in North San Antonio. Shavano Oaks II is part of a largerf office park called ShavanopOaks Park, which is located alongg Loop 1604 and Paesanos Parkway.
The new developmentr in the multi-tenant medical office sector has causedra “slight uptick” in vacancy figures — from a rate of 16 percent as of first quarter 2008 to 17.9 percenty a year later, Gatley But that increase is not something that she considers worrisom e — given the controlles rate of development. Despite the new spacs coming into the the medical office sector still ended the firstf quarter of the year with a positivwe net absorption of space to the tuneof 27,745 square feet. This absorptionh figure is only slightly beloew thesome 30,000 square feet that the sectoer absorbed during the first three months of NAI REOC reports.
“The new supply is followintg where the growth has and it’s situated in the city’s medical hubs,” Gatley “There’s not a lot of third-party, (development),” adds Steve Crozier, project director for San Antonio-based . “Th e growth is calculated, planned and demand driven.”
