A Journey of Integration, Sustainability and Growth

We are excited to celebrate the one-year anniversary of OXERRA’s global acquisition and rebranding. “This milestone offers an opportunity to reflect on the remarkable progress we have made in integrating and enhancing the acquired manufacturing sites while embarking on a global rebranding program and welcoming many new members to our OXERRA family around the world,” said Terence Yu, OXERRA Global CEO.

Over the past year, we have faced and overcome numerous challenges. Our dedicated team has worked tirelessly to leverage the unique strengths and capabilities of our newly acquired sites while integrating them into our business, strengthening our overall production capacity and efficiencies around the world.

One of our standout achievements has been the commitment to excellence in technology and sustainability across all our manufacturing sites. Our commitment to ongoing investments in our sites in Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, USA, China, Indonesia and Australia, provides security in supply and advanced technology to all our valued customers and partners.

We have made substantial investments in sustainable practices across our sites, implementing innovative technologies to support our valued customers and partners and concentrating on reducing our environmental footprint. These initiatives contributed to our agile supply chain of the highest quality color pigments and guarantee the market sustainability and security that aligns with our group’s vision.

“We are immensely proud of what we have achieved together over the past year. We have fostered a positive and inclusive culture where everyone feels valued and motivated to do their best, however this is just the beginning,” said Yu. “We remain committed to investing in our sites, our people and our sustainability initiatives to drive further growth and success.”

OXERRA, a leading global iron oxide pigment manufacturer, announced its intention to build a manufacturing facility of complex inorganic color pigments (CICP) and a comprehensive research center in China before the end of 2023.

“This new plant will supplement our current manufacturing facility in Kidsgrove, United Kingdom, and further emphasizes our commitment to global support and sustainability for the color pigment market,” said Terence Yu, OXERRA Group CEO.

“The plant’s dedicated research center will provide continued and comprehensive development of high-performance, heat-resistant inorganic color pigments,” Yu said.

OXERRA expects the new facility to be operational before the end of the year.

OXERRA, a leading global iron oxide pigment manufacturer, announced the following changes to its regional distribution network in the Americas for the paint, coatings and specialties sector of its business for all product lines. These recently combined offerings include Kroma Red, Copperas “T” grades,

Effective August 14, 2023, TCR Industries, located in La Palma, California, will represent OXERRA Americas on the West Coast and Rocky Mountain states.

Cathay Industries, a leading global iron oxide pigment manufacturer, unveiled its new name, OXERRA, along with its new brand identity, after completing the acquisition of Venator’s color business.
