Wingles, France – November 13, 2025
Today, INEOS Styrolution announced to permanently close its polystyrene (PS) production in Wingles, France. This step is part of a broader effort to adapt to changing market dynamics and to ensure the long-term competitiveness of the company’s European operations.
Production for European PS customers will be consolidated at the company’s state-of-the-art site in Antwerp, Belgium. The Antwerp facility is well positioned to serve customers effectively – offering advanced capabilities, a broad product portfolio, and a location close to key suppliers and customers.
All workforce adjustments will be made in full compliance with local regulations, and the consultation process with the Works Council of INEOS Styrolution France SAS has already been initiated. The closure of the PS production will not affect ABS production at the Wingles site.
