Core offering

Norquima manufactures and sells PVA adhesives (white glue and transparent solution glue) and resells a broad range of industrial solvents (aromatics, aliphatics, ketones, ethers, esters, glycols, thinners, alcohols, halogenated hydrocarbons, and amides). It also operates a solvent recycling and recovery service that collects contaminated solvents from chemical, pharmaceutical, and metallurgical customers and restores them to original specifications for safe reuse, backed by in-house laboratory analysis.

Direct peers

• Elekeiroz: Brazilian chemical manufacturer producing solvents, plasticizers, and specialty chemicals for industrial customers across Brazil. Directly comparable in domestic Brazilian market positioning, product mix (solvents/specialties), and B2B distribution model.
• Heritage-Crystal Clean: US-based provider of solvent recovery and recycling services, plus industrial waste management, to manufacturers across multiple verticals. Closest functional peer to Norquima's solvent recycling business model, though operating primarily in North America rather than Brazil.
• Oxiteno: Brazilian specialty chemicals producer (now under Indorama Ventures) with a portfolio that overlaps Norquima's across industrial solvents, surfactants, and chemical specialties for Brazilian industrial customers. Comparable in serving Brazilian B2B chemical buyers with similar formulation-driven product lines.

Broad incumbents

• Henkel: Global leader in industrial and consumer adhesives, including PVA-based technologies that compete directly with Norquima's Cola Branca and Cola Solução product lines in packaging, construction, and consumer segments worldwide.
• HB Fuller: Global industrial adhesives manufacturer with strong presence in packaging, construction, and durable goods — the same verticals Norquima serves with its PVA adhesive portfolio. Comparable in B2B custom formulation approach, but at far greater scale and geographic reach.
• 3M: Global diversified industrial manufacturer with significant adhesives, solvents, and specialty chemicals divisions serving industrial B2B customers across multiple verticals including packaging, construction, and automotive — overlapping with several of Norquima's served segments.
• Braskem: Brazil's largest petrochemical company and a broad incumbent producing polymers, solvents, and basic chemicals. While much larger and integrated upstream, Braskem competes for the same Brazilian industrial chemical customers and supplies the feedstock ecosystem in which Norquima operates.
• Clean Harbors: North America's largest provider of environmental and industrial services including solvent recycling, hazardous waste management, and industrial cleaning. Overlaps with Norquima's recycling and solvent services at much larger scale, primarily serving industrial manufacturers.
• BASF: World's largest chemical company with broad portfolios across industrial solvents, adhesives raw materials, and chemical specialties. While far larger and more diversified, BASF competes indirectly by supplying similar chemistries and could localize production to compete more directly with Norquima in Brazil.

Regional players

• Tradebe: European environmental services company specializing in industrial waste management and solvent recovery/recycling for chemical, pharmaceutical, and metallurgical industries — the same verticals Norquima's recycling business serves. Comparable business model and customer set, but operating in European geographies.
