Sustainability Initiatives at the DCL UK Site

DCL’s top core value is our commitment to the environment, health and safety. This includes protecting our employees, communities, and the environment. DCL prides itself on its ability to continuously reduce emissions in our plants, reduce electricity consumption, decrease fuel requirements, and reduce harmful waste.

DCL invested in a new roof and solar panels for the Waterfoot site, where our water-based dispersions are manufactured. As of April 1, this was fully operational and is expected to reduce electricity by 10%.

In the coming year, DCL will invest in a replacement chiller and a new transformer, both replacing existing equipment. This should reduce electricity consumption by an additional 10%.

ERP News: Global Implementation of ERP System

On July 1ˢᵗ, 2022, DCL will implement its new integrated ERP system globally (Phase II) after now completing Phase I last September 2021, in which we brought our US business onto the platform. Concurrent with this change, effective July 1ˢᵗ, as part of an internal corporate restructuring within DCL to further streamline our legal entities, your new invoicing entity will be DCL Corporation (USA), LLC. 

Please note that this change does not impact our customers purchasing our high-performance pigments business acquired from Sun Chemical which is sold by DCL Corporation (BP), LLC and US customers who are already invoiced by DCL Corporation (USA), LLC.

Key Information about Phase II ERP Transition for Customers:

  1. Shipment blackout dates for this Phase II Go Live is scheduled for June 30ᵗʰ through July 10ᵗʰ.  DCL expects to resume shipments on Monday, July 11ᵗʰ, 2022. 
  2. There will be no shipments of products during our black out period and we encourage our customers to plan accordingly. 
  3. Please consider moving up critical shipments, where possible, to ship prior to June 30ᵗʰ and to ensure sufficient stock to ensure your continuous operation through the blackout period.
  4. Again, this black out period does not impact the pigments from our Bushy Park business that we acquired from Sun Chemical which is sold by DCL Corporation (BP), LLC and all shipments to US customers.

Please contact your Customer Service Representative to make any changes to your existing orders to plan accordingly as soon as possible.  Your DCL Sales Representative is also available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Thank you as always for your business with DCL.
