About SNF
SNF is a specialty chemical group whose products, water-soluble polymers, contribute to treating, recycling, preserving water, saving energy, and reducing carbon footprint. A pioneer in soft chemistry, SNF has long been present on all continents, employing 8,150 people, including more than 2,300 in the USA. Innovation and movement toward a cleaner, less carbon-intensive world accelerates SNF’s growth.
With a turnover of USD $4.5 Billion in 2023, SNF is the world’s leading manufacturer of water-soluble polymers and associated monomers. SNF has major production sites in the USA (Riceboro, GA; Plaquemine, LA; Pearlington, MS); Europe (France, UK); and Asia (China, India, Korea), with many smaller plants located throughout the world.
SNF Holding Company, a member of the French-based SNF Group, is the market leader in polyacrylamide-based flocculant and coagulant polymers for water and wastewater treatment industries in North America. Our products are used in various specialty applications, including municipal drinking water and wastewater, industrial process water and wastewater, oil & gas, mining, agriculture, paper, personal care, textiles, construction, and cleaning products.
SNF acquired the Riceboro, GA site in 1986, with the purchase of Chemtall Incorporated. Since then, Riceboro has continually expanded and is now the largest SNF production site with more than 1,400 employees. This location also serves as the corporate headquarters for SNF’s North American operations (SNF Holding Company).
The Riceboro site produces acrylamide monomers and cationic monomers used to manufacture polyacrylamide flocculants in powder, emulsion, and solution forms. Riceboro also makes dispersants, coagulants, cosmetics, and other specialty chemicals.

What we do
Water: Preserving a Natural Resource
As a result of urban development, growing industrialization, and large-scale irrigation, ever-increasing amounts of water are needed. Wastewater treatment, drinking water production, and industrial water recycling have therefore become central to ensuring the world’s sustainable development and the well-being of the planet’s population. Therefore, effective solutions and responses tailored to match individual operating conditions are needed.
SNF has maintained a strong position in the water treatment sector since the company was founded in 1978. To meet the needs of this ever-growing market, we have developed a product range of more than 1,000 organic coagulants and flocculants, which we are constantly expanding and fine-tuning.
