Nouryon Begins Operations in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Nouryon recently announced it has commenced operations at its new Integrated Manufacturing Model site in Ribas do Rio Pardo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, which includes the production of hydrogen peroxide, sodium chlorate, and chlorine dioxide.

The new investment, designed in partnership with a long-term customer in Brazil, significantly increases Nouryon’s total sodium chlorate capacity available to the market and supports the growing pulp and paper industry in the region.

“Nouryon is pleased to begin operations in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, expanding our footprint as a leading supplier to the pulp and paper industry in the region. Our increased sodium chlorate capacity will support the fast-growing pulp and paper industry in South America, and we take pride in strengthening the trust of our customers with our strategic investments,” said Larry Ryan, President at Nouryon. “The launch of another Integrated Manufacturing Model site in Brazil builds on our commitment to the pulp and paper industry and supports our successful growth strategy in South America.”

Nouryon designs and builds Integrated Manufacturing Model sites for pulp production, ensuring smooth operations with their expertise in pulp bleaching and chlorine dioxide generators. Since 2005, they have operated six sustainable sites in Brazil, producing sodium chlorate and chlorine dioxide. The new site in Mato Grosso do Sul also generates green hydrogen for hydrogen peroxide production.

“Over the past nearly 20 years, we have adapted our Integrated Manufacturing Model to meet our customers' needs. Our world-class application knowledge, optimized supply chain and global logistics solutions provide our customers with a significant operational advantage. Our strategy is to continue to expand in the paper, board, and tissue markets, by delivering specialty chemicals that enable our customers to produce pulp, which is then converted into everyday products,” said Ann Lindgärde, Senior Vice President, Renewable Fibers at Nouryon.
