National Chlorine Industries

What National Chlorine Industries does

National Chlorine Industries Co. Ltd. (NCI) is a Jordanian chemical manufacturer founded in 1991 and headquartered in Amman, producing chlor-alkali and derivative products from an integrated facility. The company manufactures six core products: liquid caustic soda at 32% and 48% concentrations, caustic soda flakes at 98% purity, liquefied chlorine at minimum 99.5% purity, hydrochloric acid at 30-33% concentration, and sodium hypochlorite at 11% available chlorine. Production is based on membrane or diaphragm cell electrolysis, with the chlor-alkali process generating caustic soda, chlorine, and hydrogen as co-products that are then processed into the full derivative portfolio.

NCI distributes products through a sales-led, direct-delivery model using its own fleet of ISO-TANK road transporters, rubber-lined acid tankers, and Eurochlor-standard chlorine cylinders. The company serves both the domestic Jordanian market and export markets across six neighboring Arab countries (Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen) plus East Africa. Customer segments are industrial and horizontal, spanning water treatment, chemical processing, petrochemicals, alumina, pulp and paper, petroleum refining, textiles, food processing, and oil/gas applications. Pricing is quote-based on bulk specifications (IBC tanks, 200L and 30L drums, 30MT tanker deliveries) with no publicly disclosed rates.

The company positions itself as the market leader in chlor-alkali production across Jordan and regional export markets and maintains ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications, as well as a 2023 Food Grade Certificate enabling food-industry sales. NCI is privately held with approximately 150 employees, no disclosed parent company, no identified institutional shareholders, and no publicly available revenue figures.

Core offering

National Chlorine Industries (NCI) manufactures and sells chlor-alkali chemicals — specifically liquid caustic soda (32% and 48% NaOH), caustic soda flakes (98%), liquefied chlorine (≥99.5%), hydrochloric acid (30–33%) and sodium hypochlorite (11%) — to industrial customers in water treatment, chemical processing, petrochemicals, oil and gas, pulp and paper, textiles and food processing. The company produces via membrane/diaphragm-cell electrolysis and distributes through its own ISO-TANK road transport fleet, supplying both the Jordanian market and export markets across the Middle East and East Africa.

Product overview

National Chlorine Industries is a chemical manufacturing company offering a portfolio of six core chemical products: Liquid Caustic Soda (32% and 48% concentrations), Caustic Soda Flakes, Liquefied Chlorine, Hydrochloric Acid, and Sodium Hypochlorite. The company positions itself as the market leader in chlorine and caustic soda production in Jordan, serving both local and export markets primarily to neighboring Arab countries. The product line ranges from industrial-strength alkalis (caustic soda variants) to reactive gases (chlorine) and acids (hydrochloric acid), with sodium hypochlorite serving the water treatment and disinfection segment. NCI operates a modern fleet of ISO-TANK road transporters for product distribution.

Direct peers

• Qatar Vinyl Company (QVC): QVC is a regional MENA chlor-alkali and PVC producer, directly comparable to NCI as it produces caustic soda, chlorine, and downstream vinyl chloride on integrated chlor-vinyl assets in Qatar. It competes with NCI across similar export markets and customer segments.
• Olin Corporation: Olin is one of the world's largest integrated chlor-alkali producers (chlorine, caustic soda, bleach, HCl). It is a direct peer in chlor-alkali chemistry and serves similar downstream water-treatment, chemical-processing, and industrial customers.
• Westlake Corporation: Westlake is a vertically integrated chlor-alkali and PVC producer with caustic soda, chlorine, and hydrochloric acid output — directly comparable chemistry and customer base to NCI in industrial chemicals and water treatment.

Regional players

• Gulf Petrochemical Industries Co. (GPIC): GPIC is a Bahrain-based petrochemicals producer with adjacent chlor-alkali and downstream chemicals exposure serving MENA industrial customers. It is a regional peer to NCI operating in similar geography and customer base, though with broader fertilizer and petrochemical focus.
• Egyptian Chemical Industries (Kima): Kima is an Egyptian state-linked producer of caustic soda, chlorine, and related chemicals. It is a regional peer to NCI in chlor-alkali production and competes for industrial buyers in the same MENA geography.

Broad incumbents

• Formosa Plastics Corporation: Formosa is a global PVC and chlor-alkali producer, directly overlapping with NCI on caustic soda and chlorine supply chains that feed vinyls and downstream chemicals. Comparable on chemistry and end-market exposure at much larger scale.
• Occidental Petroleum (OxyChem): OxyChem is a major North American chlor-alkali producer (chlorine, caustic soda, PVC). It is comparable to NCI on core chlor-alkali chemistry and customer mix, though it operates at substantially larger scale as part of a broader energy/chemicals conglomerate.
• SABIC: SABIC is a global petrochemicals leader with significant chlor-alkali and PVC operations in Saudi Arabia. As a broad incumbent, it overlaps with NCI on caustic soda and chlorine supply to regional industrial buyers, though SABIC operates at far greater scale and integration.
• INEOS Group: INEOS is among the largest chlor-alkali producers globally, with broad caustic soda, chlorine, and derivative portfolios. As a broad incumbent, it competes for the same downstream industrial and water-treatment customers that NCI serves across MENA.

Emerging players

• Tata Chemicals: Tata Chemicals produces soda ash and complementary chlor-alkali chemistry for industrial and water-treatment customers. It is comparable to NCI on industrial inorganic chemicals serving chemical processing and water treatment, particularly as it expands into emerging markets.
