Viridis was founded on a shared belief: there’s a better way to make ethyl acetate and a smarter way to serve the people who depend on it.
Our process is more sustainable. Our supply is domestic. Our only raw material (ethanol) is produced onsite. And our product meets the highest standards. We offer everything our customers need – without compromise.
Ethyl acetate is essential to modern manufacturing – used in everything from coatings and packaging to household goods and pharmaceuticals. While it’s been around for decades, how it’s made matters more than ever.
The Viridis proprietary Prairie Green™ process starts with 100% corn-based ethanol instead of hydrocarbon feedstocks, and the main byproducts are hydrogen and water. That means fewer downstream concerns, a lower carbon footprint, and a dependable product that meets the highest standards for purity and performance.
This cleaner, reliable approach to ethyl acetate makes Viridis a valuable partner across markets – from regulated industries like pharmaceuticals to high-volume applications in packaging, coatings, and more.
Viridis is led by industry veterans who are passionate about chemistry and manufacturing. We’ve built businesses, run plants, served global customers, and seen what works (and what doesn’t). We are excited to be working together again – and to show the market a better way to manufacture and deliver essential solvents and intermediates, including other products in the future pipeline.
We are turning the bold, original vision of Viridis into agile, efficient production. And now, we’re building something even more powerful: trust, consistency, and long-term value for our customers.
Our investors believe in the potential of what we’re building and recognize the critical role ethyl acetate plays across industries – and the growing need for a more dependable supply. With their support, we’ve built a smarter way to deliver one of the world’s most widely-used solvents with greater reliability and sustainability.
