Itelyum Purification

What Itelyum Purification does

Itelyum Purification is an Italian industrial company specializing in the production, recovery, and purification of high-purity solvents, with primary operations at its 75,000 m2 Landriano (PV) facility southeast of Milan and a secondary packaging and distribution site at Rho (MI). Its core technology base comprises continuous and batch fractionating distillation columns, multipurpose high-efficiency plants, vacuum and hot/cold fluid systems, and a dedicated custom synthesis department, all governed by ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISCC EU, and ISCC Plus certifications. The platform processes approximately 90,000 tonnes of spent solvents per year, regenerating at least 81% of inputs, with authorized recovery capacity of 100,000 t/year and total storage capacity of 200,000 t/year.

The company operates an integrated value chain spanning spent solvent collection and purification, recovered solvent commercialization, virgin-grade high-purity solvent production, and CDMO / chemical tolling services tailored to specific qualitative specifications. Its primary customer segments are the pharmaceutical industry (API production, toll manufacturing, custom synthesis) and the chemical industry (industrial formulations, solvent recovery). Distribution extends to over 55 countries through a hybrid direct and indirect sales network, with revenue derived from product sales (high-purity solvents, recovered solvents), transaction-based recovery/purification fees, and professional CDMO/tolling services; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Recent strategic activity — including the December 2025 acquisition of Plasta Rei (chemical plastic recycling), Ministry of Environment approval for a first-of-its-kind European rare earth recovery plant, and the addition of ISCC EU and ISCC Plus sustainability certifications — signals an active platform expansion into adjacent circular-economy verticals while deepening the core solvent regeneration franchise.

Broad incumbents

• BASF: Global chemical major with a broad solvents portfolio and growing circular/bio-based lines; competes broadly with Itelyum in high-purity and recovered solvents but as part of a much wider chemical offering.
• Clean Harbors: North American environmental services giant with hazardous waste and solvent recycling operations; broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities to Itelyum's waste-to-solvent recovery model.
• Solvay: Belgian chemical major with a strong sustainability and circular-economy agenda, producing specialty solvents and intermediates that overlap with Itelyum's pharmaceutical and industrial customers.
• INEOS: Large European petrochemicals and specialty chemicals producer with a broad solvents range; competes in the same end-markets and increasingly in sustainable chemistry adjacencies.
• Eastman Chemical: US-based specialty chemicals company with circular recycling programs (molecular recycling) and a solvents/intermediates portfolio relevant to Itelyum's regeneration and high-purity segments.

Direct peers

• SEQENS (SEQENS CDMO): European integrated specialty chemicals and pharmaceutical CDMO group with custom synthesis and high-purity intermediates manufacturing — overlapping with Itelyum's CDMO and custom synthesis offerings.
