Succinic acid Succinity GmbH

Another company involved in industrial bio-based succinic acid production is Succinity GmbH founded in October 2012 (http //www.basf.com/group/pressrelease/P-12-444). This company is a joint venture between BASE and Purac, a subsidiary of GSM. It is aiming to supply the market with succinic acid produced with B. succinicipro-ducens. The first large-scale fermentation plant with a total capacity of 10,000 tons is expected to start production in late 2013 at the Purac site near Barcelona, Spain. 

In 2009, BASF and Purac formed a partnership for the development of the industrial fermentation and downstream processing of biosuccinic acid, and are now establishing a joint venture for the production and sale of biobased succinic acid. The company has been named Succinity GmbH and started up officially in August 2013. The two companies have modified an existing fermentation facility of Purac in Montmelo, Spain, for the production of succinic acid. The annual capacity of the plant is 10,000 metric tonnes and production started in March 2014 [109].
