Kemira to Close Pulp & Paper Chemicals Site at Vancouver

Finnish chemicals company Kemira announced plans to consolidate some of its pulp & paper chemical production in North America, resulting in the closure of a manufacturing site in Vancouver, Canada. The Vancouver site produces process and functional chemicals for the pulp & paper segment.

Kemira expects that production at the site will end during the first half of 2025 and will move to Kemira’s US site in Washougal, Washington, where the company already produces process and functional chemicals.

The intended move is expected to streamline operational efficiency in Kemira’s North American operations in response to changing market conditions. According to Kemira, the consolidation is not related to the planned changes to its new operating model and organization structure announced during the third quarter of 2024.

Kemira stated that the consolidation will not impact its customers.
