What Italian chlor-alkali assets is Ineos Inovyn selling to Esseco Industrial, and what are their production capacities?

Ineos Inovyn is selling its two Italian chlor-alkali sites — Rosignano and Tavazzano — operated by its subsidiary Inovyn Produzione Italia SpA. The Rosignano site has a capacity of 169,000 metric tons/year of caustic soda and 150,000 mt/year of chlorine, while the Tavazzano site primarily produces sodium hypochlorite using chlorine supplied from Rosignano.

Why is Ineos Inovyn selling its Italian chlor-alkali business, and how does it frame the strategic impact of this sale?

The sale follows a strategic review of Ineos Inovyn’s European asset base and is intended to allow the company to focus on its highly integrated, leading European polyvinyl chloride and chlor-alkali businesses; according to CEO Stephen Dossett, the transaction does not impact Ineos Inovyn’s core operational activities.
