Delivering consistent, high-quality products reliably and on time is our commitment.  During the pandemic, that commitment was put to its most strenuous test. Fortunately, our global presence gives us the strength and flexibility to adapt our manufacturing and blending capacity to rapidly changing circumstances. We have further introduced a number of solutions, including advanced tracking capabilities, forecasting tools and inventory management to help manage through raw material availability and transportation issues.  Our globally integrated supply chain complements our manufacturing, flexibility to ensuring reliable supply of components and additives.  

We operate three world-class manufacturing plants in strategic locations around the globe, as well as smaller facilities in Mauá, Brazil and Ningbo, China, and affiliated plants in India and Japan.  Each location leverages highly automated equipment and state-of-the-art control systems to provide the flexibility and capacity to meet demand.

sustainability at Oronite

One way Oronite demonstrates our commitment to sustainability is through the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 and the American Chemistry Council's Responsible Care® certifications.

ISO 14001 is the internationally-recognized standard that sets forth the requirements for an environmental management system. Under this standard, we address all environmental issues relevant to our operations and put processes in place to mitigate our impact. Our manufacturing facilities in Gonfreville, France; Mauá, Brazil; Oak Point, Louisiana; and Singapore are ISO 14001 certified. All other Oronite facilities have received an attestation for ISO 14001.

Oronite's commitment to Responsible Care® extends to the entire supply chain including transportation, storage, usage and disposal.
