Cabot reduces activated carbon manufacturing at Texas plant

abot Corp has indefinitely idled three of the seven production units at its activated carbon manufacturing facility in Marshall, Texas, USA. “This decision will enable us to adapt to present market conditions in North America and realign our costs to current demand and pricing levels,” explained Sean Keohane, president and CEO of Cabot. “It is always important for us to ensure that our manufacturing network is operating optimally as we strive to balance the longterm health of our businesses with the evolving needs of our customers.” Cabot said that the decision, which will affect approximately 40 employees, was driven by the need to better match the business’s production capacity and cost structure with the current demand for powdered activated carbon in North America. According to the company, demand for powdered activated carbon following the implementation of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) regulation has been lower than originally expected, resulting in overcapacity. “Business decisions that directly impact the lives of our employees are always difficult, and we are sensitive to the effect this has on our employees, their families and the community,” said Friedrich von Gottberg, senior vice president and president, Purification Solutions Segment. “We thank those impacted in Marshall for their contributions over the years, and appreciate their continued dedication to making safe and reliable operations a top priority.” For further information, visit www.cabotcorp.com
