Key highlights

Transaction

Chlorum Solutions USA completed acquisition of the Eddyville, Iowa chlor-alkali facility on June 1, 2026. The closing follows a definitive agreement first announced in December 2025.

Operations and workforce

The Eddyville site manufactures sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid and caustic soda for regional customers and already serves multiple Cargill operations and other manufacturers in the Midwest. Employees from the existing operation transitioned to Chlorum Solutions USA to preserve customer continuity and maintain the site's established safety culture.

Chlorum and Cargill will remain co-location partners at the Eddyville facility. The announcement notes Cargill operates 12 locations in Iowa with 1,800 employees across the state.

Strategic context

Eddyville is Chlorum’s first operating plant in the United States and will join a $70 million chlor-alkali plant under development in Casa Grande, Arizona, advancing Chlorum’s stated approach of locating small-scale production close to end users.
