Covestro plans to reorganize Antwerp production, potentially affecting up to 260 of the site's roughly 970 employees.
The proposal would consolidate polycarbonate production from four lines to one and end local bisphenol-A production.
Employee consultations have begun; no final decision will be taken until the process concludes and its outcome is considered.
Antwerp operations have been increasingly loss-making since 2022 amid global overcapacity, high costs and weak demand.
