At Taminco, it's all about amines. The production and marketing of alkylamines and derivatives are the core business of our company. The true meaning behind our company name synthesizes our strategy: striving to become the most dedicated player in the field of amines and derivatives - The AMINe COmpany!

We are the world’s only globally active specialist producer of alkylamines that is integrated into the production of a broad range of alkylamine derivatives.

Amines are organic compounds produced through the reaction of an alcohol (such as methanol or a higher chain alcohol (C1‑C6)) with ammonia. The immediate results of these processes are methylamines and higher alkylamines, which can then be reacted with other chemicals to produce alkylamine derivatives. Alkylamines and their derivatives are key elements in a broad array of chemical products that have a wide range of applications in industrial, consumer, pharmaceutical and agricultural end‑use segments. The range of uses to which our products are put is expanding, and demand for the majority of them is growing.

We have seven plants worldwide dedicated to the production of alkylamines and alkylamine derivatives, comprising two large facilities in each of Europe and the United States, and smaller facilities in China and Brazil.
