Founded in 1929, NYCO – or New York Corporation – has been supplying U.S. customers for more than 40 years with innovative esters and lubricants qualified according to U.S. specifications. 

“It was logical for us to take the strategic step of manufacturing in the USA where the market is diversified and technically dynamic,” says Guillaume Lafage, President of the Board. “NYCO will meet the needs of our North American customers in terms of shorter supply chain and enhanced services to leading users. Our second goal is to invest into new capacity to follow the growing demand with ability to expand in the future.”

The new production plant was designed and built emphasizing quality, EHS regulations, state of the art process efficiency and environmental compliance.

“Conceptualized as an advanced technology greenfield project, the new facility is located in the Shenandoah Industrial Park of Newnan, Georgia, on the site of NYCO America’s regional headquarters, only 30 minutes’ drive from the Atlanta airport,” according to Jim Mustacchio, CEO of NYCO America. “Designed to make a range of innovative synthetics esters and specialty formulated lubricants, we are beginning startup testing and trials with production commissioning planned for April 2025.”

Once operational, the Newnan facility will strengthen NYCO’s manufacturing presence in North America in addition to Europe and Asia, facilitating innovation sharing and risk mitigation as contingency backup supply. This U.S. facility will play a crucial role in supplying our partners and supporting NYCO’s global strategic growth.
