Syensqo Saint-Fons Vanillin Plant (Mothballed/Restarting)
Operated by Syensqo (formerly Solvay Specialty Chemicals) →FR · Saint-Fons, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, near Lyonchemical_plant
Primary European synthetic vanillin production site; mothballed May 2024 due to 'inflation, declining demand, and intensified Asian competition.' Restarting late 2025 (creating ~25 jobs) after EU imposed 131% anti-dumping duties on Chinese vanillin. Syensqo also has facilities at Baton Rouge LA (US) and Zhenjiang China. This plant's closure-and-restart cycle within 18 months illustrates how trade policy can restructure an entire commodity chemical market.
