CASA GRANDE — Chloralkali manufacturer Chlorum Solutions USA has announced plans to construct a manufacturing plant worth $70 million on Burris Road, in the western industrial area of the city.
Speaking from the company base in Chicago, CEO Daniel Croce told PinalCentral the plant should create approximately 40 jobs once the operation is up and running. The plant represents Chlorum Solutions’ first U.S. manufacturing facility as the company has plants in Brazil and Uruguay. Croce said once the company has gone through formal planning processes he’s hopeful that the plant will be up and running in 2026.
“The size of the plant will manufacture 18,000 electrochemical units per year. The industry uses ECUs, which means electrochemical unit, so that’s going to be the capacity that we’re installing,” said Croce, who added that his company had chosen Arizona and specifically Casa Grande due to the favorable business environment and a burgeoning silicon chip industry that requires water treatment, especially with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company building in the Valley.
