OQ Chemicals is rebranding and returning to its earlier name, Oxea, following its acquisition via funds managed by Strategic Value Partners, LLC and by Blantyre Capital. In 2013, Oxea was acquired by the Oman Oil Company (OOC). Subsequently, in 2020, Oxea was rebranded as OQ Chemicals to reflect its integration into the newly formed energy conglomerate OQ, which consolidated several Omani energy companies.
According to the company, Oxea reflects a renewed strategic vision focused on innovation, operational excellence, and dynamic global growth. While the name draws on a legacy of quality and expertise, the rebrand signals a new direction, backed by new ownership and a commitment to innovation and long-term success.
“This rebranding is a clear signal of our intent to drive growth and further strengthen our leadership in the global oxo chemicals market. Oxea combines continuity with change: we are an established partner entering a new era with renewed energy
and a strong determination to help shape the future of the oxo chemical industry,” said Craig Rogerson, incoming chairman of the Oxea Board of Directors. “With the support of our new owners, we are well-positioned for sustained growth, enhanced
operational resilience, and continued expansion of our product portfolio. As the transition unfolds, providing uninterrupted service to our customers remains our top priority.”
