- A two-site platform for reliable alkoxide supply in Europe
- La Rochelle operating today, Lülsdorf on stream by the end of 2027 – covering the full alkoxide range
The International Chemical Investors Group (ICIG) is establishing a two-site European platform for alkoxide supply: MSSA in La Rochelle, France, and Envirocat Alkoxides GmbH in Lülsdorf, Germany. Together, the two sites make ICIG a reliable partner for alkoxide supply in Europe across the full product range. La Rochelle is operating today; the new Lülsdorf facility comes on stream by the end of 2027. Both sites are built on modern production processes.
The combined portfolio includes alkoxides in both liquid and powder form:
- Sodium methylate
- Potassium methylate
- Sodium ethylate
As a result, ICIG’s products are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications and can be tailored specifically to meet the needs of customers’ modern production processes.
With La Rochelle in operation and Lülsdorf on stream by the end of 2027, ICIG offers European customers a reliable, locally based source for their alkoxide supply. To support market entry, a dedicated sales organisation is taking shape in 2026 – giving customers early planning security ahead of the Lülsdorf start-up.
“Our two-site strategy gives European industry a credible, reliable supply partner – with the scale, the product range and the consistent quality it needs. We invested early and we are delivering on time, from within Europe“ — ICI Group Management.
