On January 1, 2014 Nynas took over the base oil plant and production units of the Harburg refinery, located near Hamburg, Germany. With the site’s capability to produce high quality bitumen and a promising European bitumen market, Nynas decided to invest in making it a mixed refinery. The conversion of the refinery to fit the Nynas business has taken a significant amount of time to complete and has been a very complex process. But it is an achievement that Nynas is proud of. Jim Christie, Business Area Director, Bitumen UK, Nynas states: “The opening of the facility at Harburg underpins both Nynas’ commitment to bitumen and the mainland European market. It also fits with Nynas’ overall strategy as a global naphthenic oil leader and market leader for bitumen in Europe.”
