Contec S.A. has announced the successful deliveries of multiple shipments of tyre pyrolysis oil (ConPyro) to Orion S.A., marking a significant early milestone in the long-term collaboration between the two companies
These initial shipments were made possible by processing significant quantities of end-of-life tyres using Contec’s proprietary Molten technology.
The delivery follows the February 2025 announcement of a strategic long-term supply agreement between Contec and Orion, one of the world’s leading producers of specialty and high-performance carbon black. Under the agreement, Contec will supply Orion with TPO, enabling large-scale production of circular grades of carbon black for global tyre and rubber goods manufacturers.
Orion remains the only company to have successfully manufactured circular carbon black from 100 per cent TPO, demonstrating that its products can replace virgin carbon black in a wide range of demanding applications.
“We’re pleased to see how smoothly the cooperation with Orion has started. These first deliveries confirm that both teams are aligned not only on vision but also on execution. With such a strong beginning, we’re confident the path ahead will be even more efficient and impactful,” said Patryk Cichoń, Sales Director, Contec S.A.
The collaboration reflects both companies’ strong commitment to innovation, defossilisation, and the development of scalable circular technologies. These first deliveries set the stage for further expansion and integration of circular raw materials into global manufacturing processes.
