  • La Rochelle is operational; Lülsdorf is scheduled to be on stream by the end of 2027.
  • Combined portfolio covers liquid and powder alkoxides: sodium methylate, potassium methylate and sodium ethylate.
  • A dedicated sales organisation will be established in 2026 to support market entry and provide customers planning security.

Network and sites

ICIG is establishing a two-site European platform for alkoxide supply composed of MSSA in La Rochelle, France, which is operating today, and Envirocat Alkoxides GmbH in Lülsdorf, Germany, which is planned to come on stream by the end of 2027. Both sites are built on modern production processes.

Product range

The combined portfolio includes alkoxides in liquid and powder form, specifically sodium methylate, potassium methylate and sodium ethylate, covering the full alkoxide range for industrial applications.

Market and timeline

With La Rochelle already operational and Lülsdorf targeted for end‑2027 start-up, ICIG aims to offer European customers a local, reliable source for alkoxide supply. A dedicated sales organisation is being formed in 2026 to support market entry and provide early planning security for customers ahead of the Lülsdorf start-up.

Operations

ICIG positions the platform to meet industrial needs through scale, a broad product range and consistent quality, leveraging modern production methods across both facilities to support reliable supply and tailored product specifications.
