Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings ( (JP:4188) ) has issued an announcement.

Mitsubishi Chemical Group has decided to discontinue plans for a new MMA monomer plant in Louisiana due to the capability of meeting immediate demand with existing facilities and challenges in securing long-term customer commitments amid rising capital investment costs. This decision will lead to an anticipated loss of around 20 billion yen in the fiscal year ending March 2025 due to impairment losses, though the company will continue to pursue growth strategies and optimize its production systems.
