At a time when many companies are scaling back oil and gas investments across Europe, the expansion of polyalphaolefin (PAO) production in Belgium led by Chevron Phillips Chemical stands out as a clear demonstration of confidence in the region’s industrial future. This expansion doubles capacity at a facility strategically located to support efficient deliveries around the world.
CPChem stands out in the industry by combining decades of expertise in PAO technology with a strong record of product innovation and operational excellence. The company’s commitment to quality and consistency means manufacturers will benefit from high-performance base oils, tailored technical support, and reliable delivery.
“Beringen has a proud legacy of operational excellence and innovation in PAO production,” said Antoine Janssens, general manager for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. “This expansion strengthens that legacy, enhances integration with our existing assets, and reinforces CPChem’s position as a global leader in the specialty chemicals market.”
This expansion also supports growth in emerging industries such as electric vehicles and renewable energy, while underpinning the resilience of our European supply chains.
