BioAmber has partnered with chemical distributor Brenntag in the Americas for distribution of its Bio-SA bio-based succinic acid dericates, including bio-based 1,4-butanediol (BDO).

Given growing market demand for its bio-based chemicals, BioAmber is going to expand capacity in 2014 in Sarnia, Canada, with a 30,000 MT plant to serve the North American and other markets.
