A PERFECT MIX OF TRADITION AND MODERNITY ABOUT US OXXYNOVA Oxxynova arose from a previous company, Dynamit Nobel AG, and is now Europe’s leading producer of DMT. The company name is derived from the most important sub-process of DMT production, the oxidation of paraxylene, and also represents the innovative character of our production and logistics processes. LOGISTICS One of the main reasons for the success of our business model is the optimisation of the logistics processes for our raw materials, paraxylene and methanol, and for the DMT we produce from them. This also includes return transport of the methanol recovered from processes involving our DMT at our customers’ premises. DMT The DMT (dimethyl terephthalate) produced using our in-house method has a particularly high degree of purity and a uniform quality. This guarantees that the products it is used in are also high quality. LOCATION & HISTORY LOCATION Oxxynova GmbH is based in Steyerberg, which is between Hanover and Bremen near to the district town of Nienburg/Weser. The plant is a major employer in the region. Liquid DMT has been produced here since 1977 to consistently high quality standards using the Witten-Katzschmann method – also known as the Dynamit Nobel method. From car seatbelts to tarpaulins, DMT (dimethyl terephthalate) is used to make all kinds of everyday items. HISTORY 1958 DMT production method is patented by E.
