Congratulations to local Odessa company REXTac for teaming up with Korean company DL Chemical to take a major initiative in the worldwide hot melt adhesive industry, supplying companies that make hygiene products, heating, ventilation and air conditioning filters, automotive interiors and other products. As an early success story for the Odessa Development Corporation, REXTac president Nick Fowler, said the company “is excited to partner with a world class, experienced petrochemical company like DL Chemical. This joint venture manufacturing capability will provide global service, supply and delivery security to our ever-expanding customer base and free REXtac from total dependency on North American propylene prices”.

Odessa Chamber of Commerce Director of Economic Development Wesley Burnett said the Odessa Development Corporation, while not involved in the current project, is nonetheless glad to see the pairing as it will help this local company and Odessa. “They have been talking about this for quite some time and I’m sure it will expand REXtac and make it stronger,” Burnett said.
