Venator staff 'concerned about future'
The Chronicle
|September 06, 2025
WORKERS at a chemicals firm whose parent company this week went into administration are “very concerned about their futures”, unions say.
More than 500 people in the North East work for the firm. Venator Materials plc - which has sites on Tyneside and Teesside, as well as plants overseas - appointed professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal as administrators earlier this week.
The firm is the overall holding company for the Venator Group, which makes titanium dioxide and performance additives for use in paint, plastics and other materials.
Venator’s North East operations are trading as normal while a buyer is sought for them. The group has 519 employees in the UK and 2,249 globally.
