In South Carolina,  Ingevity Corporation has signed a definitive agreement to sell its North Charleston crude tall oil refinery assets and the majority of its Performance Chemicals Industrial Specialties product line to Mainstream Pine Products, LLC.

The all-cash transaction will result in net, after tax, proceeds at closing of approximately $110 million plus a potential contingent payment ranging from $0 to $19 million, which is subject to the achievement of future business performance milestones. The transaction is subject to customary and agreed-upon closing conditions and is expected to close by early 2026.

“This transaction marks a significant milestone for Ingevity, reducing portfolio volatility, strengthening our margin and cash flow profile and enhancing future strategic optionality,” said Ingevity president and CEO, Dave Li.
