Oleon brings you a natural chemistry. Our specialty lies in converting natural fats and oils into a wide range of oleochemical products, such as fatty acids, glycerin, esters, dimers, technical oils, specialty oleochemicals and biodiesel. As a leading producer of oleochemicals made from renewable raw materials, our products combine high performance with ready biodegradability. At Oleon, we believe that a natural chemistry entails much more than just the production of our oleochemicals. That is why we attach great importance to all the people who matter to us. We invest in our employees, commit to long-term relationships with our clients, communicate openly with our suppliers and respect our neighbors. We believe that all these factors contribute to a natural chemistry with all our stakeholders, including the wider community in which we do business, which benefits all levels of our supply chain. Oleon’s natural chemistry is everywhere. We offer our oleochemical building blocks and ingredients in a large variety of markets such as: Crop protection, Cosmetics, Industrial Ingredients, Lubricants, Nutrition ,Oilfield, Coatings, Detergents and many more. The trade name of our products is Radia®, which are used in a wide range of industries as raw materials, ingredients or additives (enhancing the properties of the end product). These oleochemicals are used for their functional properties such as chemical reactivity, lubricity, stabilization of emulsions, etc. The industry also attaches great value to the fact that most oleochemicals are completely non-toxic, and do not cause skin or eye irritation. Our global commercial, finance, purchasing and HR functions are based at Ertvelde near Ghent (Belgium). We have two production sites in Belgium (Ertvelde and Oelegem), one in Germany (Emmerich), one in Compiègne (France), one in Port Klang (Malaysia) and one in Conroe (USA).
