Evonik to Close Chemicals Facility in North America

Evonik Industries AG will close a chemicals facility that manufactures cyanoacetic acid and esters at their Mobile, Alabama USA site.

Essen, Germany-based Evonik Industries AG will close its cyanoacetic acid and ester production facility in Mobile, Alabama, USA, in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The company is exiting the global cyanoacetic acid and ester market because of overcapacities and competition from China.

The employees impacted by the closure will be retained in other production facilities at the site.

Cyanoacetic acid and esters are used as an intermediate in the manufacture of a number of products, including adhesives, pharmaceuticals and agro-chemicals.

With approximately 700 workers, the Evonik Mobile site is one of the area’s largest employers. This site manufactures a wide range of products that create the essentials necessary to enjoy a better standard of living today and tomorrow.
