Solenis, a leading global producer of specialty chemicals for water intensive industries, recently dedicated its new world headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, USA. The 90,000-square-foot (8,361.3 m2) office replaces the company’s previous headquarters.
Located in Wilmington’s redeveloped Avenue North complex, the new two-story building is designed for sustainability and employee well-being. With features such as automatic lighting adjustment, wellness rooms, a fitness center, and plenty of natural light, the building provides a comfortable and collaborative workspace.
“More than 200 employees have relocated to the building and there’s ample room to facilitate the growth we expect,” says Philip M. Patterson, Jr., senior vice president and chief financial officer. Executives, global managers, and company departments such as human resources, marketing, IT, and customer service reside in this location.
Overall, the $3-billion specialty chemical company employs over 5,200 professionals in 120 countries, spanning five continents.
Avenue North is an upscale mixed-use campus that combines office, commercial, residential, and hotel uses. Solenis’ decision to relocate there was announced in early 2019, when the company reaffirmed its commitment to remain in Delaware.
“Solenis is in a growth mode,” Patterson says. “We are working to retain, recruit, and add employees to enhance our value proposition and better serve our customers. Our roots are here in Delaware, and we are excited about continuing to grow here with our new headquarters.”
Solenis describes itself as a leading global producer of specialty chemicals for water-intensive industries, including the pulp, paper, oil and gas, petroleum refining, chemical processing, mining, biorefining, power, and municipal markets. The company’s product portfolio includes a broad array of process, functional, and water treatment chemistries, as well as state-of-the-art monitoring and control systems. These technologies are used by customers to improve operational efficiencies, enhance product quality, protect plant assets, and minimize environmental impact.
