LANXESS: Strike at butyl rubber plant in Belgium ends
Normal supplies to customers will be re-established once the plant is fully up and running. This process will take approximately one week. In total, LANXESS will have lost nine weeks of production due to the strike. During the strike, the company's global butyl rubber network has helped to reduce the impact on customers, with supplies coming from world-scale plants in Sarnia, Canada, and Singapore.
“We are pleased that the employees, who were on strike, have voted today in favor of accepting the negotiated proposal,” said Guenther Weymans, head of the Butyl Rubber business unit.
