INEOS Inovyn acquires the remaining 50% shareholding in Runcorn MCP Limited. The company also gains the assets and employees associated with ethylene dichloride production at Runcorn from Vynova Runcorn Limited.
The move fully integrates the chlor-alkali and EDC value chain under INEOS Inovyn. Bringing these businesses together strengthens the long-term future of the site and its skilled workforce, while enhancing supply security for customers.
Around 98% of the chlorine used in drinking water treatment is supplied by Runcorn, highlighting the importance of the site to public health and national infrastructure. Overall, the acquisition is an important step in safeguarding the continuity of strategically critical chlor-alkali operations in the UK. These products are essential for safe drinking water and food manufacturing. Additionally, they support various industries including pharmaceuticals, healthcare and construction.
