Chlorum Solutions USA LLC, will develop its first small-scale U.S. chlor-alkali plant in Casa Grande, Arizona. The plant will enhance local supply chain resilience in the U.S. chemical industry with its decentralized model tailored for this purpose. With an investment of more than $70 million, this plant in the Greater Phoenix area aims to set a new standard in proximity-based chemical production, reducing transport risks and reliance on long-haul shipping.
“Safety and efficiency are top priorities,” said Daniel Croce, CEO of Chlorum Solutions USA. “Our small-scale, local model reduces risks and costs associated with transporting liquefied chlorine gas across the country, aligning with increased customer preferences for localized production.”
“Chlorum Solutions USA’s new facility showcases Arizona’s attractiveness for international companies and high-growth industries,” said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. “With a commitment to sustainability and operational excellence, Chlorum Solutions is an important addition to Arizona’s supply chain and highlights the rapid economic growth taking place in Casa Grande and the entire state.”
“Chlorum Solutions USA’s unique capabilities related to chemical production will help ease the burdens on the supply chain and support manufacturers in Greater Phoenix with more local options to partner with,” said Chris Camacho, President & CEO, Greater Phoenix Economic Council. “Casa Grande’s notable ascension as a home for manufacturing continues to bolster the regional ecosystem, and the city will be looked to as an important component of national chlor-alkali production.”
Chlorum Solutions USA’s Casa Grande facility represents a significant investment in the region, creating long-term value for the community. The project will generate permanent roles, including positions for engineers, operators, and administrative staff, contributing to the local economy. During construction, the project will support numerous jobs, providing opportunities for local contractors and suppliers. Beyond direct employment, the plant will spur regional growth by attracting industries that rely on chlor-alkali products as feedstock.
Chlorum Solutions USA is committed to community engagement and plans to collaborate with local workforce training initiatives to help equip residents with the skills needed for these opportunities. Chlorum Solutions USA will bring its Arizona-based products to market in collaboration with Univar Solutions, a global chemical distributor, aimed at providing reliable access to essential chemicals.
