  • Note2024

    Solvay produces Bicar®pharma hemodialysis sodium bicarbonate at three manufacturing sites — Dombasle-sur-Meurthe (France), Torrelavega (Spain), and Map Ta Phut (Thailand) — creating the most geographically diversified pharmaceutical bicarbonate production network among major suppliers. The Thailand site (Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate) was strategically placed to serve Asia-Pacific dialysis markets and reduce freight distances from European plants to East Asian dialysis concentrate manufacturers. This three-continent production footprint gives Solvay supply resilience advantages over Church & Dwight's US-only pharmaceutical grade production.
