BASF to shut down Zachary chemical plant

Any chance this has anything to do with the recent antics of Together Baton Rouge?

German chemical giant BASF will shut down its Zachary manufacturing plant in April, a move that will affect 54 workers
quote:
“The tough decision to close Zachary was not taken lightly,” Lamonica said. “With the changing needs of customers, evolving market dynamics, and increased competitive pressures, it proved too challenging to maintain sustainable profitable operations.
quote:
The Zachary plant had three production units, making glycol ethers/glycol diethers, which are used in pharmaceuticals, electronics, agro chemicals and cosmetics; specialty solvents used in pharmaceuticals and industrial coatings; and electrolytes, used in batteries.
quote:
Half of the employees have received a BASF job offer so far, Lamonica said, while some have left the company. The move will be the second time a manufacturing facility shuts down in Zachary this year.
quote:
The plant will shut down in April, and some employees will stay on to decommission the facility, which should be completed by the end of the year.

Now who the hell is going to buy that 7.5 million village of a house?

That plant is a dump too. Glad I had some nice sales in there the last few years.

No, it's been known for a while it was closing

For the uninformed reader, what would their closing have to do with the antics of Together Baton Rouge?

Big supporter of LSU Athletics.
Signage inside Tiger Stadium.
New management of their US operations is re-evaluating their entire domestic units.

I guess Braeden, Brayden, and Caden are going to have to sell some more Super Bowl squares now.

Wondering if the plant really had issues turning a profit or if they decided to cut their losses with the looming prospects of increased property taxes on the facility.

They had other plants that could produce the product and decided to consolidate

Worked there 20 years ago when it was Grant Chemical.
Got out as quick as I could. Surprised that place didn't burn to the ground multiple times.

I did some cabling in that place about 10-15 years ago when BASF bought it. It was a rusted, falling apart shithole then. Can't imagine its still cost effective to keep it bandaged together for much longer.

They’re still going to have a huge footprint in South Louisiana.

Heard he is in real trouble financially. Divorce plus a multi million dollar land deal that went bad.
