Pilot lots of new products were released: 3-bromopropene-1 (allyl bromide), 1-bromo-2-methylpropane (isobutyl bromide) and tribromethane (bromoform). Serial production is scheduled for the second half of 2024.

In the next three years, the company's management will bet on strategic development on these highly sought-after products in the world and domestic market, since the market for classic products (sodium and calcium bromides) in the current world situation of reducing consumption is losing its potential.

Plans 2024

The key task of the enterprise remains the products line extension and the deepening of bromine processing to obtain high-margin brominated organic compounds. In 2024, we plan to conduct pilot tests and announce the launch of four more new products. Finished products will be delivered both to the market of the Russian Federation and for export to friendly countries.

The launch of new products will allow the company to occupy new niches in the global market of organic bromide compounds and increase its presence from 8% to 15%.

In addition, the management of the management company is negotiating the construction of a new plant in one of the CIS countries and is preparing to open two trading divisions in Turkey and Kazakhstan.

TC Bromine’s plans for 2020


2020 will be a breakthrough year for TC Bromine. In its second quarter, the first phase of the new sodium bromide plant in Krasnokamsk will reach the full capacity. The company plans to sell more than 5,000 tons of sodium bromide in both domestic and international markets in this year.In 2020, the company plans to enter new markets and expand its customer base.

The bromine production market is highly concentrated. This is due to the dependency of the production on natural bromine deposits and their limited worldwide locations. Due to these natural barriers for the new players and growing demand, the capacity utilization of the largest sodium bromide plants is almost 100%. In 2020 this environment will allow TC Bromine to:

  • effectively expand the customer base
  • increase sales
  • develop an investment program

On top ot that the company plans to develop supplies of new products - calcium bromide, zinc bromide, ammonium bromide.

TC Bromine opens a new bromine production plant in Krasnokamsk


TC Bromine opens a new plant in Krasnokamsk for production of bromine and bromine compounds. Construction of the plant will be carried out in two phases. The first phase will reach its full production capacity (600 tons per month) in the second quarter of 2020. The second phase will be launched in 2022. The total capacity of the two phases will be 1,700 tons of sodium bromide per month. The total investment in this project is about USD 60 million.

The new production's location was chosen for the reason that Krasnokamsk has the largest deposit of iodine-bromine water in Russia and CIS countries sufficient for many decades.

Israel, Jordan, USA and China remain the main suppliers of bromine at the moment. The new plant has the competitive edge in the international market trade. The main advantages of the new plant:

  • New and state of the art production of quality products
  • Supply of bromine to domestic and international markets
  • Positive impact on Krasnokamsk's economy - more than 500 jobs will be created
