Orion S.A. to rationalize production lines in Americas, EMEA<\/b><\/p>\n

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nOrion S.A. (NYSE: OEC), a global specialty chemicals company, announced today it plans to discontinue production at three to five of its carbon black lines at multiple facilities in the Americas and EMEA by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

\n“This decision is part of Orion’s strategy to focus maintenance investments on higher-performing production lines \u2013 making them more reliable and productive \u2013 and to rationalize underperforming assets,\u201d Orion CEO Corning Painter said. \u201cThis move is also intended to enhance free cash flow.”<\/p>\n

\nPainter added, \u201cRecently introduced U.S. tariffs, the EU anti-dumping investigation and continued tire capacity investment in both regions should help reverse the local tire manufacturing share loss. However, given the uncertain timing of this recovery, we are choosing to take this action now.\u201d<\/p>\n
