UBE Corporation Accelerates Structural Reforms for 2030 Vision

An announcement from UBE Industries ( (JP:4208) ) is now available.

UBE Corporation has announced structural reforms in its basic businesses to accelerate its shift towards specialty chemicals, in line with its Vision for 2030. This involves ceasing production of certain basic chemicals like ammonia and caprolactam ahead of schedule due to deteriorating market conditions, particularly in Asia, influenced by Chinese oversupply. The reforms aim to stabilize financial performance by reducing exposure to volatile markets and achieving greenhouse gas reduction targets sooner. The restructuring will result in impairment losses and related expenses, impacting the fiscal year ending March 2025 earnings, while positioning the company for future growth in specialty markets.
