CPChem is investing in the future, growing our production capacity to help meet the increasing demand for PAOs worldwide. This expansion will enhance CPChem’s position as a leader in the development of high-quality PAOs, marketed under the Synfluid® brand.
With the expansion of the LV PAO unit in Beringen, Belgium, CPChem will double its production capacity in Belgium (up to 120,000 MT) upon targeted startup in 2025. This investment reinforces CPChem’s commitment to being the supplier of choice for its expanding global customer base.
Located in the heart of Europe and optimally constructed at our Beringen manufacturing site, the expanded unit will enjoy significant advantages in infrastructure and feedstock availability, while benefiting from strong local expertise and leveraging Belgium’s centralized position to strategically supply products all over the world.
Our Beringen plant has a long history of safe, reliable production, and of serving our customers with excellence. Upon completion of this expansion, our product specifications will remain unchanged as CPChem will continue to use existing, proven processes to manufacture high-quality LV PAOs.
The expansion of the unit is designed to maximize the use of electric equipment, helping CPChem reduce dependency on natural gas to operate the unit. To further take advantage of these design improvements, CPChem is seeking opportunities to procure renewable electricity for the unit, which would help reduce the unit’s environmental impact and support CPChem’s goal of reducing carbon intensity by 15% by 2030.
