This collaboration aims to improve supply reliability, reduce railcar chlorine transport, and bolster safety and environmental responsibility in the region.
Olin Corporation and K2 Pure Solutions today announced a significant expansion of their partnership, a move poised to revolutionize bleach (sodium hypochlorite) distribution across California and the broader Western United States. This enhanced collaboration, building upon a successful existing foundation, is specifically designed to improve supply reliability, extend regional coverage, and elevate service responsiveness.
The alliance goes beyond mere distribution improvements. A key objective of this expanded partnership is to substantially reduce the volume of railcar chlorine currently transported into the Western U.S. By enabling more localized bleach production and distribution, the initiative directly supports broader, shared goals of enhanced safety, increased environmental responsibility, and fortified supply chain resilience within the region. This localized approach minimizes the risks associated with long-distance hazardous material transportation, offering a more sustainable and secure supply model.
Ken Lane, President and CEO of Olin, underscored the profound importance of this strengthened partnership. "Olin's exclusive bleach distribution agreement expands on a successful partnership with K2's reliable, regional production," Lane stated. "It is another proof point of Olin's long-term strategy to enhance the safe and reliable supply of this critical product to help maintain public health and safety." His comments highlight Olin's commitment to not only commercial growth but also to its foundational role in safeguarding public well-being through dependable chemical supply.
Echoing this sentiment, David Cynamon, Co-Founder and Chairman of K2 Pure Solutions, expressed considerable enthusiasm for the deepened collaboration. "This enhanced partnership aligns with our vision to expand our reach and advance product delivery optionality," Cynamon remarked. He further acknowledged Olin's invaluable contributions, noting, "Olin brings deep market expertise and long-standing customer relationships to this partnership." This synergy of K2's production capabilities and Olin's market penetration is expected to create a formidable force in the Western U.S. bleach market.
The partnership is expected to set new benchmarks for industry best practices. Both Olin and K2 Pure Solutions are committed to driving innovation and excellence in every facet of bleach production and distribution. This dedication aims to ensure the delivery of the highest-quality products to their customers, ranging from municipal water treatment facilities to industrial users and various other sectors where bleach plays an indispensable role in sanitation and hygiene.
