In St. James Parish, Louisiana, there’s a Koch facility producing high-quality methanol. Koch Methanol St. James takes a long-term point of view for delivering highly valued methanol to the world while building on Koch’s continuous focus for responsible operations. 

The result: better methanol made by people you know from a company that cares.

Committed to Safety

Being a responsible operator is part of Koch Industries' stewardship framework.

Invested in the Community

We support more than a dozen local causes and organizations.

Making an Economic Impact

In addition to job creation, we contribute millions in state and local taxes.

At Koch Methanol St. James, a 1,300-acre world-scale facility, we utilize the latest technology to produce high-quality methanol reliably and responsibly. Take a short tour of our plant and hear from some of our process leads to learn why being a good neighbor to the community is as much a priority for us as making methanol the entire world depends on. You might even spot a familiar face or two. 

Methanol is a building block for many different products, some of which may come as a surprise. While you might expect to find it in vehicle and marine fuels, automotive components, paints and adhesives, it’s also used to make building materials, clothing, cosmetics and medical equipment. And it starts right here in St. James.

From experienced production engineers to plant operators and environmental, health and safety experts, many of the different roles and careers at Koch Methanol are made possible by your friends and neighbors – people from St. James Parish and the surrounding area who care about this community because it’s home.

Whether at work in the plant, the office or out in the public, our people are committed to creating a resilient, prosperous facility and community. That commitment extends well beyond our fence line as Koch Methanol employees step up for St. James in different ways, like putting down new roots for future generations.
