Production and Environment

The majority of Cheminova’s products are manufactured at the factory in Harboøre situated in the western part of Denmark. Furthermore production also takes place in India at Cheminova India Ltd.’s production facilities situated north of Bombay in the state of Gujarat. Production plants are designed and built by Cheminova's own engineers. Likewise, the production processes have been developed in-house in Cheminova’s own laboratories and pilot plants.

The products are shipped as formulated products or as concentrated chemicals.

The in-house development in Denmark and India of processes and production plants is considered to be of great importance to the competitiveness of Cheminova. Most of the production plants operate continuously and are dedicated for one product, and several plants range among the largest plants of their kind in the world.

The factories operate under environmental approvals granted by the relevant authorities. The approvals outline all aspects concerning production, such as wastewater treatment, gaseous and solid waste.
