The new location, yet to be announced, will solidify Southern States Chemicals position as the largest industrial producer/supplier of Sulfuric Acid on the East Coast. The plant is expected to be operational in 2009.

“The decision to build this new state of the art sulfur burning acid plant in Wilmington where we already have two operational plants, centered primarily on our core strength as a reliable, on-purpose supplier to the industrial customer base in our market area.” says Key Compton, President of Southern States Chemical. This geographic position provides more efficient distribution to our customer base on the East Coast and increases Southern States Chemical’s total manufacturing capability in the Southeast to over 1,100 tons of sulfuric acid per day in addition to our marketed product. Particularly today, this added security of supply will certainly be welcome!
