Bolder new Terre Haute buildout and European project advance global supply network for BolderBlack® and BolderOil™
Bolder Industries, is attending the 2025 Global Polymer Summit this week, reinforcing its leadership in sustainable raw materials.
Since 2019, Bolder has delivered solutions in over 3,000 applications for tyres, rubber, plastics, and coatings from its Maryville, Missouri facility. The company is now investing in its Terre Haute, Indiana site and Antwerp, Belgium project in the NextGen District.
The Terre Haute expansion, scheduled for completion in 2026, will feature four proprietary reactors within its 66,000-square-foot facility. The site will recycle 6.6 million end-of-life tyres annually, producing nearly 18,000 MT of BolderBlack® and 21,000 MT of BolderOil™, delivering sustainable alternatives to virgin carbon black and fossil-based oils.
In Europe, Bolder is upgrading its Antwerp facility with the N2TR Project, supported by CINEA. Expected to reach full capacity by Spring 2027, this site will serve as a hub for global supply of consistent, high-performance materials.
“Too often, ‘innovation’ stops at the pilot stage. Our success is measured in thousands of metric tons, not truckloads, because manufacturers need dependable supply to make sustainability a real part of their business,” said Tony Wibbeler, founder and CEO of Bolder Industries.
“Our customers’ formulations demand consistency and performance that match or exceed virgin materials. BolderBlack meets strict performance specs, while BolderOil delivers the right chemistry,” said Nate Murphy, Head of Technology at Bolder Industries. “We’ve built our process to scale without compromising on those technical parameters, so the results you get in the lab are the same results you see in production — whether that’s 30 metric tons or 3,000.”
Bolder’s expansions in the U.S. and EU establish a robust supply network that enables manufacturers to meet both performance and sustainability objectives, supporting the global advancement of circularity. Manufactured exclusively from post-consumer and post-industrial end-of-life tyres as well as selected scrap rubber, Bolder products reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 85% compared to conventional production processes.
