A Natural Chemistry

About us

Oleon brings you a natural chemistry. Our specialty lies in converting natural fats and oils into a wide range of oleochemical products, such as fatty acids, glycerin, esters, dimers, technical oils, specialty oleochemicals and biodiesel. As a leading producer of oleochemicals made from renewable raw materials, our products combine high performance with ready biodegradability. At Oleon, we believe that a natural chemistry entails much more than just the production of our oleochemicals. That is why we attach great importance to all the people who matter to us. We invest in our employees, commit to long-term relationships with our clients, communicate openly with our suppliers and respect our neighbors. We believe that all these factors contribute to a natural chemistry with all our stakeholders, including the wider community in which we do business, which benefits all levels of our supply chain. Oleon’s natural chemistry is everywhere. We offer our oleochemical building blocks and ingredients in a large variety of markets such as: Crop protection, Cosmetics, Industrial Ingredients, Lubricants, Nutrition ,Oilfield, Coatings, Detergents and many more. The trade name of our products is Radia®, which are used in a wide range of industries as raw materials, ingredients or additives (enhancing the properties of the end product). These oleochemicals are used for their functional properties such as chemical reactivity, lubricity, stabilization of emulsions, etc. The industry also attaches great value to the fact that most oleochemicals are completely non-toxic, and do not cause skin or eye irritation. Our global commercial, finance, purchasing and HR functions are based at Ertvelde near Ghent (Belgium). We have two production sites in Belgium (Ertvelde and Oelegem), one in Germany (Emmerich), one in Compiègne (France), one in Port Klang (Malaysia) and one in Conroe (USA). We have a number of sales affiliates in all continents.

    Truck drivers are an indispensable link in our society. Without them, our world would look very different. Despite increasingly challenging conditions, they remain committed to doing their jobs with dedication every day. This is why today, we want to put them in the limelight and celebrate Truck Driver's Day. As a token of appreciation, we thank all our drivers with a well-deserved goodiebag. Thank you to all our heroes on the road - you are the driving force behind everything we do! 🚛👏 #WeAreOleon #WeAreAvril #TruckDriversDay #SupplyChain

    Oleon’s Radianol 4712 is a sustainable, fully biobased Monopropylene Glycol (MPG), offering an eco-friendly alternative to petrochemical MPG. In winter, MPG is essential as a de-icing agent, keeping car windows, plane wings, and runways clear to ensure safety and efficiency. It also acts as an anti-freezing agent and heat transfer liquid, making it ideal for automotive coolants and industrial temperature control. Additionally, it enhances paints and coatings by providing freeze-thaw protection, extended drying time, and improved leveling. Interested in using Radianol 4712 for an eco-conscious solution to your winter challenges? Contact our team at base@oleon.com

    It's a yearly tradition for us - participating in the Nourrir La Vie event in Paris. This internal event provides employees from across Avril the opportunity to present their most significant projects from the past year and compete for recognition in various categories. This year, four teams from Oleon sites in Ertvelde, Venette, and Emmerich represented us with their innovative projects. Although no Oleon team won an award, we are proud of their dedication and the quality of their work. Well done! 🙌 #NourrirLaVie #WeAreAvril #WeAreOleon
