EPS resin producer scaling manufacturing capacity and recycled-content products
NexKemia manufactures expandable polystyrene (EPS) resin for packaging and construction at a facility in Quebec. The stack is heavily industrial automation–focused (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, ABB, Modbus, EtherNet/IP) with CAD and GCP supporting engineering and operations. Active hiring is manufacturing-heavy (14 roles), and projects cluster around capacity expansion, new EPS grades, and recycled-content extrusion—indicating growth-phase operations with parallel emphasis on sustainability and compliance (Quebec salary-equity and language-law programs are listed projects).
NexKemia Petrochemicals is a producer of expandable polystyrene (EPS) resin, with operations in Mansonville, Quebec. The company serves packaging and construction markets, and specializes in EPS grades and, increasingly, recycled-content products. Manufacturing is the dominant function, supported by engineering, operations, HR, finance, logistics, and research teams. Current priorities include capacity expansion, development of new product grades, and environmental and regulatory compliance initiatives.
Primary systems include Allen-Bradley and Siemens PLCs, ABB drives, EtherNet/IP and Modbus protocols for process control, plus HPLC for quality analysis and AutoCAD for design.
New EPS grades and recycled-content extrusion products. Capacity expansion is also a live project to support growth in packaging and construction segments.
