Kemira to close Vancouver site

Kemira has announced plans to consolidate some pulp and paper chemical production in North America, resulting in the closure of a site in Vancouver, which produces process and functional chemicals. Production will move in 1H 2025 to Washougal, Washington, where Kemira already makes these chemicals.

The move is expected to streamline operational efficiency in North American operations in response to changing market conditions. The company added that the move is not related to the planned changes to its new operating model and organisational structure announced during Q3 2024.
