Overview
Vynova Belgium NV, commonly known as Vynova, is a European chemical company specializing in chlor-alkali products and PVC resins. Established in 2015 as the chlor-vinyls platform of the International Chemical Investors Group (ICIG), Vynova has quickly become a major supplier in the European market. The company operates production sites in Tessenderlo (Belgium), Mazingarbe (France), Beek (Netherlands), and Runcorn (United Kingdom), with an affiliated site in Maastricht (Netherlands). Its product portfolio includes suspension PVC (S-PVC), caustic soda, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, hydrochloric acid, sodium hypochlorite, and vinyl intermediates such as benzyl chloride and its derivatives. Vynova serves a wide range of industries, providing essential materials for construction, water treatment, and consumer goods. The company emphasizes sustainability and innovation, with initiatives like bio-circular PVC and renewable energy-derived caustic soda. As a subsidiary of ICIG, Vynova benefits from the group's industrial network and expertise. Despite being a relatively young company, Vynova draws on decades of experience from its predecessor sites, some of which have been operational for over fifty years, connected by a 63-kilometer pipeline between Tessenderlo and Beek. Vynova's commitment to quality, safety, and environmental responsibility positions it as a key player in the European chemical industry.
History
Vynova was established in 2015 as the chlor-vinyls platform of the International Chemical Investors Group (ICIG), consolidating several chemical production sites across Europe. The company's origins trace back to predecessor operations, including a PVC plant in Beek, Netherlands, which has been connected to the Tessenderlo site in Belgium via a 63-kilometer underground pipeline for over fifty years. This pipeline transports the intermediate product VCM (vinyl chloride monomer) between the two sites. In 2018, Vynova was nominated for the Best Polymer Producers Awards for Europe, reflecting its growing reputation in the industry. The company has continued to invest in sustainability, developing bio-circular PVC and renewable energy-derived caustic soda. In late 2025, production at the Beek site ceased, but Vynova announced plans to restart operations in autumn 2026, demonstrating its commitment to the region and its industrial network. Throughout its history, Vynova has leveraged the expertise of its predecessor sites, some with decades of operation, to become a leading European supplier of chlor-alkali products and PVC resins.
