We are Innova, a petrochemical, manufacturer of resins and processed plastics: products designed for quality of life and well being.
On the afternoon of July 15, 2026, at 5:20 p.m. (Manaus time), a chemical emergency occurred in one of the three styrene monomer storage tanks at Plant IV, the Company’s petrochemical located at 1.616 Abiurana Avenue, Industrial District.
An abnormal increase in the temperature of the product inside the tank resulted in the controlled release of vapors through its built-in safety systems.
The situation was promptly brought under control in accordance with the Company’s established emergency response procedures. All resulting waste was properly collected, contained, and stored for subsequent treatment in full compliance with applicable environmental regulations.
As a result, there is no risk to public health or environmental contamination.
The swift and coordinated response of Innova’s Emergency Response Brigade, together with the decisive support of the Fire Department, was essential in bringing the incident under control. The Emergency Response Plan (ERP) was activated and executed effectively.
It is important to emphasize that there was no fire, no release of liquid product or effluents beyond the containment dikes, and, most importantly, no injuries or casualties.
No other equipment was affected, and the incident poses no risk to the continuity of supply to our customers.
Videolar-Innova regrets any inconvenience caused to the residents of Manaus. The Company will take all necessary measures to prevent a recurrence of this incident and remains fully available to the competent authorities and all other interested parties to provide any additional information or clarification that may be required.

Our story comes from a time when image, sound, films, information, songs, needed a way to reach the public: media carriers.
Innova has its origin in Videolar, a manufacturer of blank and pre-recorded media (VHS, audio cassettes, floppy disks, CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs) reinvented as a petrochemical and processed plastics industry.
Until the last recorded media in 2022, it continues taking culture and leisure to the most remote corners of the country.
