It all starts with Hopewell. AdvanSix Hopewell has grown from making gun cotton for allies in WWI to being one of the world’s largest single manufacturing sites for ammonium sulfate, which makes the fertilizer that helps grow crops around the world possible. It is also one of the world’s largest single manufacturing sites for caprolactam, which is used to make Nylon 6 resin – a key ingredient in the carpet under your feet. Hopewell is the largest manufacturing site in the AdvanSix enterprise and through our commitment to safe, stable and sustainable operations as well as our amazing team and what they bring, we have made a lasting impact on Virginia manufacturing.

AdvanSix is proud to be active in the Hopewell community and serve as good environmental stewards. The team regularly volunteers with Rebuilding Together Richmond and supports the local food pantries, and the Community Transformers Foundation as well as the Hopewell Manufacturers Association, the Virginia Manufacturers Association, the Commission for Hopewell Water Renewal and the Hopewell Rotary. I am proud to work side-by-side with the talented team at Hopewell to deliver for our customers, our community and each other.

STORIES IN THE COMMUNITY

Protecting Our Community

As one of the world’s largest single-site producers of compounds used in nylon and fertilizer, we take pride in delivering safe and high-quality products. While we help make the carpet under your feet and help grow the food you eat, we also take every precaution to protect you in Hopewell. Safety for the community and our teammates is our number one priority.

In the rare cases where our work may impact the community, we work directly with the City of Hopewell and the Local Emergency Planning Committee who will send emergency alerts and other notifications via Hopewell Alerts, when needed.

Building a Dialogue with Our Community

We host community forums to provide a platform for Hopewell residents and partners to learn more about our operations, ask questions and share their feedback. We encourage all residents to join us at our next forum to stay informed, share your thoughts and be part of the conversation. In the meantime, explore the presentations below from past meetings to see the topics we've covered.

Being a Good Neighbor

We are committed to providing open and transparent means for community members to find information, raise concerns, and have inquiries addressed. If you can’t find what you are looking for on this page, email us at community@advansix.com or use the contact form below.
