Plant Closure and Transition
Nyobe has initiated the decommissioning of its polymer production facility in Kruisem, Belgium, marking a shift towards a sustainable industrial model. This closure is part of Project Nyobe, a collaboration with Swiss-based SSMI, which will manage the dismantling and asset management over the next 10 months. The process emphasizes environmental responsibility, safety, and asset reuse.
Asset Management and Resale
SSMI's responsibilities include a complete asset inventory, disassembly of high-value machinery, and site restoration. The closure introduces a range of advanced machinery, such as polymerization systems and extrusion equipment, to the market. These assets will be offered to SSMI's international network of over 110,000 contacts, promoting reuse and extending the machinery's lifecycle.
Interactive Facility Tour
To enhance transparency and buyer confidence, SSMI has launched an interactive 3D tour of the Nyobe facility. This virtual tour allows potential buyers and industry professionals to explore the extrusion and polymerization sections and examine available machinery closely.
Industry Trends and Future Outlook
Nyobe's decision aligns with broader industrial trends towards decarbonization, consolidation, and technological modernization. While the closure may evoke nostalgia for those associated with the Kruisem facility, it highlights a proactive approach to managing industrial transitions.
