Bolder Industries expands U.S. capacity

Boulder, CO – Bolder Industries is at the 2025 Global Polymer Summit this week, reinforcing its leadership in sustainable raw materials. Since 2019, through its Maryville, Missouri facility, Bolder has delivered commercially proven solutions across more than 3,000 applications in tires, rubber, plastics, and coatings. Building on this momentum, the company is investing in its Terre Haute, Indiana facility and its Antwerp, Belgium project in the Port of Antwerp’s NextGen District.

The Terre Haute expansion, scheduled for completion in 2026, will feature four proprietary reactors within its 66,000-square-foot facility. The site will recycle 6.6 million end-of-life tires annually, producing nearly 18,000 MT of BolderBlack® and 21,000 MT of BolderOil™, delivering sustainable alternatives to virgin carbon black and fossil-based oils.

In Europe, Bolder is advancing its Antwerp facility through the N2TR: NextGen Thermal Tire Re-use Project, co-funded by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA). Slated for full capacity in Spring 2027, the site will anchor a global supply network designed to provide consistent, high-performance materials across industries.

“Too often, ‘innovation’ stops at the pilot stage. Our success is measured in thousands of metric tons, not truckloads, because manufacturers need dependable supply to make sustainability a real part of their business,” said Tony Wibbeler, founder and CEO of Bolder Industries.

“Our customers’ formulations demand consistency and performance that match or exceed virgin materials. BolderBlack meets strict performance specs, while BolderOil delivers the right chemistry,” said Nate Murphy, Head of Technology at Bolder Industries. “We’ve built our process to scale without compromising on those technical parameters, so the results you get in the lab are the same results you see in production — whether that’s 30 metric tons or 3,000.”

Together, Bolder’s U.S. and EU expansions create a resilient supply network that helps manufacturers achieve performance and sustainability goals while scaling circularity worldwide. Made entirely from post-consumer and post-industrial end-of-life tires and carefully curated scrap rubber, Bolder products cut lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 85% compared to traditional production methods.
