IOI Oleo GmbH Witten (Germany)

IOI Oleo GmbH's Witten, North Rhine-Westphalia facility is a European oleochemical processing plant that converts Malaysian-origin PKO-derived fatty acid streams into refined C12/C14 fatty acids, fatty acid derivatives, and specialty oleochemical products for European personal care and cleaning product manufacturers. IOI Witten is the primary European production point for IOI's fatty acid and ester portfolio — enabling European supply without the working capital and logistics cost of importing finished fatty acids from Malaysia. IOI acquired this facility as part of its strategy to vertically integrate into European downstream markets. The Witten facility's proximity to German and Dutch personal care ingredient customers (Beiersdorf, Henkel, Unilever EU operations) gives it a logistics advantage over Asian suppliers.
