About the plant
KRONOS TITAN built the world`s first factory for the production of TiO2 in Fredrikstad in 1916 and this was the start of an adventure spanning over 100 years based on Norwegian technology. Through the sulfate process, we produce TiO2 with unique qualities which is an important ingredient for the production of many important products such as paint, plastic and paper products. KRONOS TITAN is the only producer of TiO2 in Scandinavia.
Our by-product, iron sulphate, contributes to clean sewage for about 5 million people in Scandinavia. KRONOS TITAN is associated to the local industrial and circular ecosystem in the Øra industrial area and takes advantage of many sustainability benefits from this association.
