Tessenderlo Production plant

Three strongly interlinked production facilities are located in the production plant at Tessenderlo (Belgium). The customer department /sales services and headquarters of the business group chemicals operate from this location as well.

In the electrolysis unit electrolysis products and derivatives such as, caustic soda, caustic potash, potassium carbonate, hydrogen sulphide and ferric chloride are manufactured.  These products used in the detergent, tanning, photographic, water and ore treatment industries for the production of food, disinfectants and cleaning products.

The vcm-unit manufactures vcm, the raw material for PVC. PVC within Tessenderlo Group is processed in the two pvc-plants, located in Mazingarbe (FR) and Beek (Nl).

The fine chemicals unit produces benzyl chloride, benzoyl chloride and benzoyldehyde on one hand and glycine (pharmaceutical grade, food grade and technical grade) on the other.

The Tessenderlo production plant is interlinked with the production plant in Ham via several underground pipelines and by rail.

The Tessenderlo and Ham plants make extensive use of water transport via the Albert Canal. With a yearly volume of about 2.5 million tonnes, this is the largest inland harbour in Flanders. Raw materials such as sulphur, rock phosphate, potassium chloride and sodium chloride as well as end products are transported in this way.
