Bolder delivers a more sustainable future in Maryville and beyond

MARYVILLE, Mo. — Founded in 2011, Bolder Industries’ vision is to deliver circular solutions that will transform manufacturing sustainability worldwide.

BolderBlack®, their primary product, is a sustainable carbon black that was first produced in Maryville and is now in over 3,000 products including auto parts, passenger tires, roofing, conveyer belts, tires, phone cases, inks, coatings, and much more. Additionally, BolderOil™ has been fully adopted into the petrochemical supply chain as a sustainable fuel and process oil feedstock.

Bolder Industries’ mission is threefold:

• Significantly reduce landfilling

• Drastically cut emissions, water, and energy usage

• Create local jobs in an emerging industry

Bolder has established a proven proprietary process, which utilizes 98 percent of every scrap tire and delivers 98 percent less CO2 and 85 percent less water and energy compared to virgin carbon black. Bolder Industries Maryville has made steady progress in establishing a best-in-class 24/7 operation — becoming a certified ISO 9001 facility in 2021, completing a plant expansion in late 2021, and gaining ISCC PLUS Certification in 2022 for all products.

Bolder Industries has experienced a significant uptick in market demand for their sustainable products and is pursuing aggressive growth with expansion to Terre Haute, Indiana coming next. Following that, Bolder will begin commissioning their first European facility in Antwerp, Belgium, which is an exciting opportunity for Maryville to be featured as the proving grounds for global expansion.

“True circularity has been our goal from the start, and we’re thrilled to see the market demanding that more of our materials, produced here in Maryville, are delivering what we promise,” said Tony Wibbeler, Founder and CEO.

Bolder is dedicated to partnering with local communities, customers, and organizations that are equally committed to sustainability efforts and Maryville has been the proving grounds of the business.

“Maryville will always be our first home and we have continued to be humbled by the support we receive from the community,” said Steve Underhill, Plant Manager of Bolder Industries Maryville.

Bolder is currently hiring for several positions and welcomes employees that are looking to grow their skills in an exciting new industry and working with technology and products not found anywhere else in the world.
