Increased Production
Tessenderlo will increase its caustic potash (KOH) production in Belgium to 220,000 tonnes per year by September. This decision comes in response to the recent closures of competing producers.
Market Anticipation
The company claims to have anticipated these closures, positioning itself to meet the demand left by the exiting competitors. This strategic move aims to strengthen Tessenderlo's market position in the chemical industry.
