Valtris Specialty Chemicals invests in a production capacity expansion at its Tessenderlo, Belgium site in Europe. Benzoylchloride is a key raw material in the production of benzoyl peroxides, commonly used in skin treatments, as an initiator in the polymer industry, and to bleach wheat and rice.

With three global production sites, Valtris Advanced Organics serves customers worldwide with a portfolio of chlorinated toluene derivatives, used in a variety of end-markets including agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, construction, automotive, cleaning agents,
hand sanitizers, and personal care products.
“
Following the successful 2021 project to expand our Benzaldehyde capacity at Tessenderlo, we are delighted to announce the next stage in our expansion plans with this project to increase our Benzoylchloride capacity by 15%,” said Paul Angus, CEO Valtris Specialty Chemicals.
The expansion is expected to be fully completed by the end of 2022.

With these important expansions, we continue to strengthen our position as a reliable, global supplier of chlorotoluene derivatives focused on meeting the needs of our customers”.
