Rhodia Philippines

Rhodia Philippines is primarily a manufacturing plant.

Company Introduction:

Rhodia Philippines, as a standalone corporate entity, no longer operates under that specific name. Its operations and assets were acquired by Solvay, a global leader in advanced materials and specialty chemicals, in 2011. Therefore, what was formerly Rhodia Philippines is now fully integrated into Solvay's global network and operations.

Before the acquisition, Rhodia was a French multinational chemical company renowned for its specialty chemicals, including surfactants, polyamide intermediates, and various other derivatives. These products found wide application across diverse industries such as consumer goods, automotive, electronics, construction, and agriculture.

In the Philippines, the former Rhodia facilities, now under Solvay, are involved in the production and distribution of specialty chemicals and formulations. These products serve both local and regional markets, supplying essential ingredients for a wide array of applications including personal care, home care products, industrial cleaning solutions, and various industrial processes. Solvay continues to maintain a significant manufacturing presence in the Philippines, building upon the capabilities established by Rhodia.

Factory or Trader:

Rhodia Philippines, and by extension its successor Solvay in the Philippines, functions primarily as a factory or manufacturing plant. While they do engage in the sales and distribution of their chemical products to other businesses (acting as a supplier), their core business activity involves the actual chemical production, formulation, and synthesis of specialty chemicals.

Rhodia Philippines manufactures and/or distributes the following products:

* Polyamide compounds

* Engineering plastics

* High-performance polymers

* Specialty chemicals
