Evonik has reduced production capacity for its superabsorbent polymers by 40,000 metric tons to 530,000 meric tons per year. The reduction impacts two of Evonik's five superaborbent production sites—in Garyville and Greensboro, NC.
“With this measure we’re adapting to demand trends. We plan to take the opportunity to bring capacity to the technological state of the art and to start up the lines again in one or two years,” says Norbert Westerholt, head of the Baby Care Business Line at Evonik.
Evonik is pursuing the goal of remaining a reliable, competitive, and innovative partner of superabsorbents customers over the long term.
