Trinseo: Potential closure of German Boehlen styrene plant
|
Trinseo, a specialty material solutions provider, recently announced it has initiated an information and consultation process with the Works Council of Trinseo Deutschland GmbH regarding the potential closure of its styrene monomer production site in Boehlen, Germany. The facility, which has a nameplate annual capacity of 300 kilotons, generated negative profitability of approximately 30 million dollars over the last four quarters ending Q2 2022. Frank Bozich, President and Chief Executive Officer of Trinseo: “Given the current economic outlook of higher inflation, lower customer demand and elevated energy costs, we are evaluating asset optimization across our portfolio.” Advert Bozich continued, “The cost position of the Boehlen facility is challenged due to the current energy cost environment in Europe as well as the facility’s smaller scale, and it’s difficult to envision significant earnings improvement at the site in the near to medium term. Therefore, we have decided to evaluate the potential closure of this plant. In addition to improved profitability for Trinseo, we believe a closure will aid in achieving our 2030 sustainability goals, as Boehlen is one of our most carbon intensive plants.”
