About

Synvina is a Joint Venture of Avantium and BASF, located in Amsterdam. Operating a pilot plant in Geleen, the Netherlands, Synvina produces and markets furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from renewable resources on pilot plant scale and markets the new polymer polyethylenefuranoate (PEF). Synvina aims to commercialize their activities in the future. FDCA is a building block for various products. Most significantly the polyester PEF, which is suitable for food and beverage packaging and for fibers for carpets and textiles. For the packaging industry, PEF offers superior characteristics like improved barrier properties and a higher mechanical strength enabling thinner packaging. PEF is recyclable. Our strength lies in the combination of our mother companies’ expertise. We merge technology leadership with market leadership. Creativity with reliability. Innovative spirit with production excellence. Together, we aim to become market leaders in FDCA and PEF.
