Almelo is a city in the province of Overijssel, in the eastern Netherlands, and the original home of the Urenco enrichment company's Dutch plant. The Treaty of Almelo, signed on March 4, 1970 by the United Kingdom, West Germany and the Netherlands, set up cooperation on uranium enrichment by the gas centrifuge process.

Urenco was incorporated in 1971. A Dutch pilot plant (SP1) and a German pilot plant (SP2) were built at Almelo in the early 1970s, and experience from them shaped the joint demonstration plant SP3. Urenco dates the formal installation of its first commercial-scale plant at Almelo to 1977. Plant SP5 started up in 2000. Plants SP1 to SP3 were later decommissioned and their sites returned to greenfield.
