Vynova PPC, an affiliated site that is part of our parent company ICIG, is located in Thann, in the eastern part of France, near the Swiss and German borders. The site is accessible by road and rail and is located close to the Rhine river.
The Thann site features a state-of-the-art membrane electrolysis plant, inaugurated in 2015, for the production of chlorine (Cl2) and potassium hydroxide solution (KOH) as well as production installations for a range of other potassium derivatives such as liquid and solid potassium carbonate (K2CO3) and solid KOH in various forms and concentrations.
In addition to its potassium derivatives portfolio, Vynova PPC produces a range of fine chemicals, more precisely brominated organic products and mineral bromides manufactured by means of bromination and hydrobromination technologies. The site also provides bromine recovery services from customers’ process streams, thereby contributing to a sustainable management of resources. Vynova PPC’s brominated derivatives portfolio is marketed under the umbrella of our ICIG sister company WeylChem.
Potassium derivatives are crucial to many manufacturing and processing industries and are used in a variety of markets ranging from agrochemicals, food and feed, to pharmaceuticals, consumer care and industrial applications.
Brominated derivatives are widely used as intermediates in specialty chemicals, in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industry and in the cosmetics industry.
The history of the Thann site dates back more than 200 years. Since the foundation of the first chemical plant on the site in 1808, Vynova PPC has grown to one of the region’s most prominent employers with 265 committed employees.
