    Celanese to close its acetate tow production facility in Mexico Celanese has announced that it will close its acetate tow production facility at its Jalisco Ocortlan facility

    in Mexico to integrate its global cellulose acetate production operations.

    The Ocotland plant produces 52,000 tons of acetate flakes and 20,000 tons of acetate tows
    .
    The acetate tow unit at the Ocotland plant is expected to operate until the fourth quarter of 2018 to ensure a smooth completion of the closure process
    .
    The production of acetate flakes at the Ocotland plant is not affected
    .
    The integration aims to reduce fixed costs, align future production capacity with anticipated industry demand, and strengthen Celanese's competitive position
    .

    Marcel van Amerongen, Vice President, Cellulose Derivatives Business, Celanese, said: "The global business environment for acetate tow products is being challenged, global demand for acetate tow is declining, and we do not expect this business environment to improve
    in the foreseeable future.
    Acetate tow is an important part of Celanese's business, and we are taking the necessary strategic steps to make adjustments to ensure the smooth running
    of the business.
