HELM US Corporation and AGC Vinythai Strengthen Strategic Partnership for Bio-Based Epichlorohydrin in the United States

The collaboration between HELM US and AGC Vinythai began in 2017 and has grown steadily over the past years, driven by a shared commitment to sustainability, innovation, and reliable supply to customers across key industries.

AGC Vinythai’s bio-based Epichlorohydrin represents a competitive, drop-in alternative to conventional ECH, enabling customers to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising performance or process efficiency. The product is certified under both RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) and ISCC+ (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) mass balance standards, ensuring transparency and traceability throughout the value chain.

As part of this strengthened collaboration, HELM US and AGC Vinythai have signed new long-term agreements, reinforcing HELM US as the exclusive distribution partner for AGC Vinythai’s bio-based Epichlorohydrin in the United States.

“We are proud to deepen our partnership with AGC Vinythai and to bring sustainable, high-performance solutions to our customers in the U.S. market,” said Björn Steckel, Vice President Chemicals Americas at HELM US. “This milestone reflects the strong growth we have achieved together since 2017 and our shared vision for the future.”

AGC Vinythai added: “Our cooperation with HELM US has been instrumental in successfully introducing bio-based Epichlorohydrin to the U.S. market. With the newly signed long-term agreements, we are confident in further expanding this business despite current market challenges and evolving global trade and tariff policies.”

Both companies remain committed to expanding the reach of sustainable chemical solutions and continuing to grow their business together in the years ahead.
