Pineland Community Service Board

Pinova Inc, based in Brunswick, Georgia, was a leading provider of state-of-the-art performance specialty rosin, polyterpene resins, and key ingredients for various industries worldwide. Operating since 2010, Pinova supplied premium performance rosin resins and polyterpene resins to customers in over 100 countries, meeting the highest product standards in specialized markets. However, following a devastating fire in April 2023 that destroyed core production assets and infrastructure, Pinova made the difficult decision to permanently close its Brunswick plant. The parent company, DRT, based in France, is now offering solutions and product alternatives to its customers. With a rich history dating back to 1911, the Brunswick plant, formerly owned by Hercules, had been a significant economic force in the region, employing generations of people and contributing to the growth of Brunswick and Glynn County. Despite the closure, Pinova is committed to decommissioning the site in line with its values, working closely with Hercules to ensure environmental investigation and remediation work continues. The decommissioning process, which includes the safe removal of materials and demolition of buildings, is expected to be completed by the end of 2024, with measures in place to minimize any impact on the community.Generated from the website
