BioAmber and Brenntag Sign Americas Distributor Partnership
In Minnesota, BioAmber announced that it has partnered with Brenntag in the Americas for distribution of its Bio-SATM bio- based succinic acid and derivatives, including bio- based 1, 4-butanediol (BDO).
Brenntag is the leading distributor in the Americas, servicing the chemicals market with the broadest product portfolio in the industry and covering the full range of markets for BioAmber’s renewable chemicals. Within these markets, Brenntag offers a complete line of industrial and specialty chemicals and a broad array of services. Its local focus and global presence provide BioAmber with access to customers and markets across the Americas, while extending Brenntag’s product offerings to include BioAmber’s portfolio of sustainable, bio- based solutions.
BioAmber is a leader in bio- based succinic acid and derivatives, including bio 1,4-butanediol, and is currently supplying commercial Bio- SATM from a European production facility. Given growing market demand for its bio- based chemicals, BioAmber is going to expand capacity in 2014 in Sarnia, Canada with a 30,000 MT plant to serve the North American and other markets.
Made from renewable feedstock, Bio-SATM has a more favorable carbon footprint (field to gate) than petroleum succinic acid and is one of the few bio-based chemicals currently available at a commercial scale. BioAmber Bio-SATM can serve as a building block chemical for use in a range of applications including polyurethanes, unsaturated polyesters, coating resins, flavors, lubricants, plasticizers, deicers and solvents.
