PCC GulfChem Corporation Plans DeLisle, Mississippi, Manufacturing Operations

12/19/2024
PCC GulfChem Corporation, a subsidiary of Germany-based holding company PCC SE, plans to establish operations in DeLisle, Mississippi. The at least $540 million project is expected to create at least 84 jobs.

The company is co-locating a manufacturing and operations facility with The Chemours Company to produce chlorine and a number of downstream products. Operations are scheduled to begin in 2028.

“We are grateful for the facilitating approach and support from the State of Mississippi and the Harrison County towards PCC as a new potential investor in the region. PCC aims to contribute in a positive way to the community and to the businesses of our on-site partner Chemours, as well as to other local businesses,” PCC CEO Peter Wenzel said.

Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) is providing assistance through the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive, or MFLEX, program. Harrison County also is assisting with the project.

“PCC GulfChem’s co-location at the Chemours DeLisle Plant in Pass Christian speaks to the strength and competitiveness of Mississippi’s industrial landscape. This $540 million investment and the creation of 84 new jobs is a crystal-clear example of the state’s ability to attract global leaders in chemicals manufacturing. State leaders work hard to maintain a supportive business environment and prioritize workforce development so innovative companies like PCC GulfChem can thrive for generations in Mississippi,” Mississippi Development Authority Executive Director Bill Cork said.

The PCC Group is a manufacturer of chemical feedstocks and specialty chemicals, silicon and silicon derivatives, as well as a container logistics operator.

“The Harrison County Board of Supervisors and Harrison County Development Commission are pleased to support the PCC GulfChem project. Recognizing the project’s potential to create high-paying jobs and the significant investment and positive economic impact it will have, the county is supporting a request for a rare fee-in-lieu agreement,” added Harrison County Development Commission Executive Director Bill Lavers.
