Integrity to shutter DeRidder chem plant in '24
Ingevity Corp. will shut down its DeRidder, La., specialty chemicals plant in early 2024, with the loss of about 180 local workers. The move is being done to focus on the firm's growth of its most profitable performance chemicals.
The DeRidder plant manufactures components used in adhesives, rubbers, inks, emulsifiers and binders that are derived from wood pulp manufacturing.
Ingevity said about 120 other business and support employees will lose jobs as well. The company said the personnel moves will result in annual savings of $65-to-$75M beginning in 2024. (NOLA.com) Chemical company to close DeRidder plant, lay off nearly 180 | Business News | nola.com
