由于 ABS 市场竞争加剧,Ineos Styrolution (英力士苯领)将关闭其位于俄亥俄州阿迪斯顿的 ABS 生产工厂。关闭工作将于 2025 年春季开始。
Citing increasing competition in the ABS market, Ineos Styrolution will close its ABS production facility in Addyston, OH. Decommissioning is set to begin in spring 2025.
该公司表示,将继续通过其Styrolution业务和Ineos在北美的生产设施以及公司的“全球足迹”来服务北美ABS市场,包括受影响的客户。
The company said it will continue to serve the North American ABS market, including affected customers, through its Styrolution business and Ineos production facilities in North America and within the company’s “global footprint.”
Addyston工厂生产丙烯腈丁二烯苯乙烯(ABS)和苯乙烯丙烯腈(SAN)聚合物,应用于汽车、家庭、医疗保健和建筑行业。
The Addyston site makes acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and styrene acrylonitrile (SAN) polymers for automotive, household, healthcare, and construction applications.
Ineos计划继续提供“全面的高品质苯乙烯聚合物等级,并确保全球供应和本地生产,”Ineos Styrolution和Ineos ABS的首席执行官Steve Harrington表示。“我们的重点是未来——我们正在采取措施加强我们的立场,确保我们持续成功的坚实基础。”
Ineos plans to continue supplying “a comprehensive range of high-quality styrenic polymer grades and ensuring both global availability and local production,” said Steve Harrington, CEO of Ineos Styrolution and Ineos ABS. “Our focus is on the future — we are taking steps to strengthen our position in the near term and ensure a strong foundation for our continued success.”
市场压力中包括来自海外进口的竞争,Harrington补充说。同时,国内竞争也在增长。例如,LG Chem计划在俄亥俄州的聚合物工业集群建立一个新的三层客户服务中心,以便与其俄亥俄州的ABS工厂紧密合作。
Among the market pressures influencing the decision is competition from overseas imports, Harrington added. Meanwhile, domestic competition is growing, as well. For example, LG Chem is planning a new three-story customer service center in Ohio’s Polymer Industry Cluster to work closely with its Ohio ABS plant.
“经过彻底分析后,我们得出结论,继续运营并实现盈利性成本竞争力所需的巨大投资使得这个工厂不再具有经济效益,”Harrington解释说。“这个艰难但必要的决定主要由外部市场状况驱动,不反映我们在Addyston团队的表现或奉献。”
“After a thorough analysis, we concluded that the substantial investment needed to continue operations and achieve profitable cost competitiveness makes this site no longer economical,” Harrington explained. “This difficult yet necessary decision is driven primarily by external market conditions and is not a reflection of the performance or dedication of our team in Addyston.”
这是该公司今年宣布的第二个工厂关闭:今年六月,Ineos宣布将永久关闭位于安大略省萨尼亚的苯乙烯单体生产工厂,关闭时间为2026年六月。
It’s the second plant shutdown that the company has announced this year: In June, Ineos said it will permanently close its styrene monomer production site in Sarnia, ON, by June 2026.
