Ineos Bamble, Puralube Nordic to Establish Lubricant Plant in Norway

Ineos Bamble and Puralube Nordic have announced an agreement to locate a new environmentally friendly lubricant oil production plant on the Ineos site at Ronningen in the municipality of Bamble, Norway.

The new plant, which is to be built, owned and operated by Puralube, will convert waste oils into super-clean lubricants, which can be used in cars, transportation and a broad range of industrial applications.

Bill Reid, CEO of Ineos Polyolefins, which owns the Bamble site, said: “This is a great step forward for our strategy to grow a strong and diversified industrial environment at our Bamble site.

“We have been able to develop this exciting opportunity with Puralube based on the combination of proximity to feedstocks, customers and a highly skilled workforce at Bamble; giving our location here a particular strategic advantage for these types of operations.”
