2010 Plant Relocation and Modern Operations
In 2010 Gaylord Chemical Company built a new DMSO production facility in Tuscaloosa, AL. The new plant was constructed approximately 400 km away from the original Bogalusa location. The company built new infrastructure in Tuscaloosa, then dismantled, transported, and reinstalled key equipment in approximately 100 days.
The rationale provided for the plant relocation included Gaylord’s inability to expand its production capacity at the Bogalusa location due to raw material restrictions. Additionally the long term availability of sour gas provided by a nearby refinery allowed the company to implement the established H2S / Methanol process.
Gaylord Chemical Company’s Tuscaloosa facility is ISO 9000:2008 certified and its products are compliant with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations established in the European Union under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. The company maintains both Kosher and Halal certificates for its facility, due in part to the use of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) as a food and flavoring ingredient.

Famous quotes containing the words plant, modern and/or operations:
“The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“The Oriental philosophy approaches easily loftier themes than the modern aspires to; and no wonder if it sometimes prattle about them. It only assigns their due rank respectively to Action and Contemplation, or rather does full justice to the latter. Western philosophers have not conceived of the significance of Contemplation in their sense.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
