Nynas has completed its reorganisation, which had been under process since last December.

The court's decision will be effective on 21 December, and thereafter Nynas will no longer be limited by the reorganisation regulations.

The District Court of Södertörn decided that the Nynas company reorganisation is now complete, following a creditors meeting where the previously submitted composition proposal was accepted.

Nynas financial difficulties, that had led to the company reorganisation, originates from the US trade sanctions against PdVSA and Venezuela, which then also included  Nynas.

“I am happy to announce this very important step for Nynas and that we are now exiting the reorganisation that has been ongoing since December last year. Together with our loyal customers  and suppliers, we will vigorously move forward and continue to develop our business in all our   global markets. We are ready to take back lost market share and more,” says Bo Askvik,   Nynas President & CEO.

Nynas said it comes out of the reorganisation as a stronger company with 5‐year secured financing and a  strong balance sheet. During the reorganisation process, extensive work has led to decisive progress. Following ownership changes, Nynas has no longer been subject to US sanction regulations since May.

This has meant that the company has been able to contract crude oil deliveries and to continue financing  discussions under more favourable terms.

During the reorganisation, Nynas has managed to secure good liquidity and cash flow through a significant reduction in overdue customer payments, a  granted deferral of tax payments and an agreement on inventory financing.  Successful shift of feedstock  The main achievement, however, is the successful shift to a new blend of feedstock during the past  year. This was necessary due to US sanctions against the export of Venezuelan crude, which used to  be a major feedstock for the company. Several new feedstocks have now been approved and  processed following an impressive change programme at the refineries and our supply chain. Nynas  can now run our refineries with 100 % non‐Venezuelan feedstock without affecting the strict  demands of our consistent product quality. All necessary permits from the authorities needed for  running new feedstocks have been secured. The product recipes have been adapted at record speed  and Nynas has the necessary approvals from its customers across the world.

Tokyo Zairyo Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Zeon Corporation, marked a significant milestone in November 2025 by establishing a new branch office in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Following the completion of all necessary preparations, this location has now commenced full-scale operations. The move represents a deliberate effort to broaden the company’s commercial reach across the Indian market while simultaneously constructing an organizational structure capable of responding with greater agility to the evolving and increasingly diverse requirements of its customers.

This southern expansion comes approximately 15 years after the company first established its Indian subsidiary, Tokyo Zairyo (India) Pvt. Ltd., with an office in Gurugram, Haryana, in 2011. By positioning a second office in Chennai, the firm now operates a coordinated network spanning the northern and southern regions of the country. Close collaboration between the two locations is intended to strengthen information services and enhance user support, leveraging both internal capabilities and external partnerships to better serve Japanese automotive parts manufacturers and processors operating throughout India.

Through this dual-office structure, Tokyo Zairyo is poised to advance its core business of purchasing and selling a broad spectrum of materials, including rubber, resins and elastomers.

Kuraray Co., Ltd. has announced a comprehensive global price adjustment for its portfolio of Liquid Rubber products and ISOBAM alkaline water-soluble polymer. These changes, which are set to take effect on 16 April 2026, will see prices rise by at least USD 2 per kg.

The driving forces behind these significant pricing actions are multifaceted, rooted in substantial disruptions to global supply chains. These disruptions are largely attributed to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which has had a cascading effect on logistics. Compounding this issue are the sharply rising costs associated with transportation and essential raw materials.

This strategic move is essential for the company to maintain operational stability and continue the supply of Liquid Rubber and ISOBAM amidst the volatile market conditions.

German chemical group WACKER has announced a price hike across its silicones product range, responding directly to significant upheavals in international commodity markets triggered by the recent military conflict in the Middle East. This geopolitical instability has created pronounced distortions throughout the supply chain, leading to a sharp escalation in the costs of essential inputs. The company is experiencing substantially higher prices for energy as well as for various other raw materials and logistics services.

To address this challenging economic landscape and offset the considerable burden of increased raw material and transportation expenses, the chemical group is implementing price adjustments effective 1 April 2026. The updated pricing will be communicated to the customers accordingly. This strategic move is essential for the company to maintain operational stability and continue delivering its products reliably amidst the volatile market conditions.

Scandinavian Enviro Systems AB publ has signed a letter of intent with an undisclosed partner to explore the possibility of licensing its advanced tyre pyrolysis technology for deployment in North America.

The collaboration will focus on conducting a comprehensive feasibility study to evaluate the technical and commercial viability of establishing one or multiple facilities dedicated to processing end-of-life tyres using Enviro’s proprietary method. This study is designed to provide the potential licensee with the necessary insights to assess the prospects of entering into a long-term commercial arrangement and formal technology licensing agreement.

It is important to note that any definitive agreements will depend entirely on the study's outcomes and subsequent negotiations. At this stage, there is no guarantee that the evaluation will lead to binding commitments or that the proposed transaction will ultimately materialise.

Fredrik Aaben, CEO, Scandinavian Enviro Systems, said, “We continue to see strong international interest in Enviro’s technology, and this letter of intent is yet another proof of this.”
