Neste is a long term client of NautaDutilh and has been active in the Netherlands since 2011 when the Rotterdam facility for renewable products started its operations. The Rotterdam facility, together with the company’s Singapore refinery, are the world’s biggest and most advanced renewable fuels refineries. Neste’s Sluiskil plant is responsible for the storage and pretreatment of renewable raw materials, and Neste Demeter B.V. delivers raw materials to the company's renewable products facility. Earlier in 2020, Neste also acquired a terminal in Rotterdam for storing, refining and blending renewable waste and residue-based raw materials. In 2019, Neste opened a new office in Hoofddorp, which serves as the global hub for the growing Renewable Aviation business.
