WILMINGTON, DE – The Chemours Co., a global chemical company with market positions in titanium technologies, fluoroproducts and chemical solutions, announced two decisions that are elements of the company's five-point transformation plan.
The company will close its Edge Moor manufacturing site located outside Wilmington, DE, which produces titanium dioxide (TiO2), and will shut down a TiO2 line (line 3) at its Johnsonville plant in New Johnsonville, TN. Together, these actions will eliminate roughly 150,000 metric tons of TiO2 capacity while refocusing TiO2 production at four manufacturing sites that employ the full range of Chemours TiO2 technology strengths. These changes position Chemours to grow in the TiO2 industry by enhancing its production capabilities, allowing it to meet the needs of its customers around the globe.
