The flagship manufacturing facility of PMC Organometallix™ in Carrollton, Kentucky, is one of the largest facilities of its kind in the world. Initially established in 1958, the site has a long history of organometallic chemical production. Since the acquisition of the Organometallix business from Arkema in 2012, PMC Group has invested in significant capacity expansions and additions, bringing the plant’s total employment to nearly 200.

The plant manufactures Thermolite® and ADVASTAB® organotin stabilizers, FASCAT® catalysts, and fine chemicals including Grignard reagents. An experienced technical team leverages development labs, a pilot facility, and unique manufacturing capabilities to provide solutions for customers worldwide. The Carrollton plant produces its own methyltin intermediates as well as being supplied octyltin and butyltin intermediates from the PMC Organometallix plant in Mobile, Alabama, making PMC the only fully integrated producer of tin chemicals in the world.

About PMC Organometallix, Inc.

ADVASTAB® and Thermolite® StabilizersThe PMC Organometallix Carrollton facility manufactures a wide range of methyltin, butyltin and octyltin heat stabilizers ideally suited for all rigid PVC processing applications, from PVC pipe, pipe fittings, and clear bottles to rigid film and sheet, pharmaceutical packaging, cellular PVC, vinyl siding and window profile extrusions.

PMC Organometallix also has extensive rigid and cellular PVC formulation experience. The company’s Center for Vinyl Innovation (CVI) based in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, offers customers a range of technical services and state-of-the art analytical equipment.

Fine ChemicalsPMC Organometallix produces many high purity organometallic and organic reagents. The Organometallix team practices a diverse array of chemistries including Grignard reagent synthesis, organophosphorous chemistry and aryl derivatives of metals such as antimony and tin. Much of our core expertise lies in handling difficult chemicals/chemistries (e.g. air and moisture sensitive, flammables, Grignard reagents, chlorination & bromination).

The Carrollton manufacturing facility has significant experience producing high-quality, large volume, fast-turnaround and delivery of fine chemicals. A combination of technical expertise and design, dedicated work force and central location allows PMC Organometallix to provide unparalleled safety and the greatest economies of scale.

FASCAT® CatalystsFASCAT® catalysts are inorganic and organometallic tin compounds that provide optimal conversion and curing characteristics - making these organometallic materials essential in a wide variety of applications. FASCAT® catalysts are used in the manufacture of biofuels, synthetic lubricants, monomeric and polymeric ester synthesis, automotive e-coat, crosslinking of siloxanes, urethanes, and as chemical intermediates. This core product line serving customers around the world is manufactured at the PMC Organometallix Carrollton plant.

LocationThe facility is located on nearly 400 acres next to the Ohio River, about halfway between Louisville, KY to the south and Cincinnati, OH to the north. Although Carrollton has been predominantly a farming community, the past few decades have seen the area become home to several multinational companies attracted to the central location with river and interstate highway access.

TimelinePMC Organometallix’s Carrollton, Kentucky, plant has been an integral part of its surrounding community – and the international chemical industry – for decades. From its beginnings as part of the Metal and Thermit Corporation in 1958, the Carrollton plant has been a major producer of inorganic tins and organometallic chemicals.

The plant remained a part of what became M&T Chemicals until the mid-1970s, when Paris-based Elf Aquitaine acquired the facility as part of its diversification into North America. In 1992, Elf Aquitaine merged its Carrollton operation with subsidiaries Pennwalt and Atochem to form Elf Atochem North America. In 2000, the business was purchased by the Total-Fina group and was renamed Atofina until 2003 when most of the Atofina business was divested to Arkema Inc. Maintaining its portfolio of PVC stabilizers, catalysts and fine chemicals, ownership shifts did not change the core mission of the Carrollton facility, which continued to excel in the manufacturing of organometallic chemicals.

In 2012, PMC acquired the Organometallix business from Arkema, along with the Carrollton facility. Shortly thereafter, PMC acquired Dow’s organometallic chemistry business (formerly Rohm and Haas, formerly Morton International) in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 2014, the Cincinnati facility was consolidated into the Carrollton facility thus beginning a new era of combined resources, technology and products to become the largest PVC stabilizer producer in North America. The history of both sites is rich with innovative, market leading products and exceptional employee talent. This consolidation has made the Carrollton plant an enduring business and a stronger manufacturing site with a bright future.

In 2016, PMC completed an expansion of the Carrollton plant’s catalyst production capacity in order to meet the global demand for its FASCAT® line of catalysts.

CommunityThe community of Carrollton is a stakeholder in the business and site. As such, PMC Organometallix participates in a Community Advisory Panel (CAP) that maintains a budget for projects such as emergency response equipment, shelter-in-place kits, and notification systems. Other community activities include participating in the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), hosting an annual household hazardous waste collection event, and sponsoring the Carroll County Recycling Center.
