BioAmber Inc. and IMCD Group announced today that IMCD is now distributing BioAmber\u2019s biobased succinic acid (Bio\u00ad-SATM<\/sup>) in the Benelux, France, Iberia, Germany, Poland, South East Europe, Switzerland and the United Kingdom and Ireland, targeting customers in the resins and coatings market.<\/b><\/p>\n

Being a global leader in the sales, marketing and distribution of specialty chemicals, IMCD has a strong commitment to sustainability, with the reduction of CO2<\/sub> emissions one of its top corporate priorities. IMCD has worked on supply chain excellence and emission reductions for several years, and is committed to cutting its CO2<\/sub> emissions by at least 20%. IMCD Group is the first distributor to be awarded the prestigious Lean & Green award, part of the innovation program Sustainable Logistics by Connekt, an independent network of companies and authorities.<\/p>\n

BioAmber is a leading supplier of bio‐based succinic acid. BioAmber currently supplies Bio-SATM<\/sup> from a production facility in Pomacle, France and plans to expand capacity in 2014 with a 30,000 MT capacity plant in Sarnia, Canada. Made from renewable feedstock, Bio‐SATM<\/sup> has a more favorable carbon footprint (field to gate) than petroleum succinic acid and is one of the few bio‐based chemicals currently available at a commercial scale. In resins and coatings applications, BioAmber Bio-SATM<\/sup> enables formulation flexibility and the opportunity to develop tailored properties that offer performance in more sustainable solutions.<\/p>\n

“We are delighted to partner with BioAmber for this leading and exciting new generation product,\u201d said Michèle Bouchard, Business Group Industrial Synthesis Director at IMCD Group. “Bio-SATM<\/sup> further strengthens IMCD\u2019s offering in the renewable resources based chemistry for production of more sustainable polymers. We are currently experiencing a growing demand for sustainable products and we believe BioAmber Bio-\u00adSATM<\/sup> will help us meet this growing demand,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

“We believe IMCD\u2019s strong market access, logistics, technical expertise and application development capability will help accelerate our Bio-SATM<\/sup> sales in the European resins and coatings market.
