Nouryon, a global specialty chemicals leader, 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.”
