Renaming for Strategic Growth
Nouryon has renamed its Industrial Chemicals business to Nobian to support its global growth and branding strategies. This change allows Nobian to develop its European value chain for essential base chemicals under its own brand, while Nouryon focuses on expanding its global specialty chemicals position.
Organizational Structure and Strategy
Over the past two years, Nouryon has restructured to allow its businesses, operations, and functions to focus on their core strengths. The new strategy aims to exceed customer expectations, outgrow competition, and increase the share of specialties in the portfolio. The renaming to Nobian is a step towards more focused growth strategies under separate brands.
Nobian's Role and Expansion
Nobian is a key player in the production of salt, chlor-alkali, and chloromethanes, essential for manufacturing disinfectants, lightweight durable plastics, aluminum, pharmaceuticals, and other products. Headquartered in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, Nobian employs around 1,800 people and operates manufacturing facilities in the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark.
Future Plans
Nobian will continue to be owned by Nouryon as it grows under its new name. An ongoing expansion of chloromethane production in Frankfurt, Germany, aims to better serve customers in the pharmaceutical and construction industries. The Nobian brand will be introduced through a phased approach, starting with a new website in the coming months.
