VYNOVA

On 1 July 2019, Potasse et Produits Chimiques SAS has joined Vynova Group. The company, based in Thann (France), has been renamed Vynova PPC SAS. The site’s integration is the final step in a journey of continually increasing cooperation and will further strengthen Vynova’s position as Europe’s number one supplier of potassium derivatives.

For the second consecutive year, Vynova was rewarded two times at the Best Polymer Producers Awards for Europe. Following its success in 2018, the company has again won both the PVC category award and the overarching award, this year for Customer Communication. The prestigious prizes are voted for by customers and confirm Vynova’s performance as an outstanding supplier to the PVC industry.

Vynova was crowned 'Supplier of the Year' by VEKA Group. The company came top in the ‘Raw Materials’ category, as well as being named overall winner. Vynova supplies VEKA Group with high-quality PVC resins for its industry-leading PVC-U systems. 

Stefan Sommer, President of Vynova Group, has been appointed Chairman of the European Council of Vinyl Manufacturers (ECVM) and of VinylPlus^®, the voluntary sustainable development programme of the European PVC industry. He replaces Josef Ertl, Member of the Advisory Board of Vinnolit.

Vynova Group today inaugurated its new, state-of-the-art potassium hydroxide (KOH) membrane electrolysis facility in Tessenderlo, Belgium. The plant is the result of a major conversion project which was concluded in April 2018, ahead of schedule. The project involved a 65 million euros investment and is part of a larger investment programme of more than 100 million euros at the Tessenderlo site.
