The challenge
The world's leading natural-based chemicals producer and largest oleochemical manufacturer in North America was investing $175 million in a biorefinery expansion project to strengthen the company's position as a specialty solutions provider. This company has been operating in Ohio for 176 years, dating back to 1840 when it was founded as a candle company.
