Kraton Corp. has strategically realigned its operations to sharpen its focus on core capabilities and accelerate growth. As part of the realignment, the company will exit its Dover, Ohio, manufacturing site and transition away from the Dimer and Polyamides business lines.

“Our strategy is clear: focus where we have the greatest impact and drive the most value,” said Minco van Breevoort, president, Kraton Pine Chemicals. “By streamlining operations, we can direct investments toward core Pine Chemical assets and innovation. Our Crude Tall Oil refinery rates will not be impacted by this decision. We will have greater ability to support our customers with Tall Oil Fatty Acid supply.”

Kraton acknowledges the impact of this decision, and the company is committed to a safe, respectful, and supportive transition. The company also issued a thanks to its Dover team for team members’ long-standing commitment to safety and operational excellence.

With operations across multiple continents and a diverse portfolio of solutions, Kraton stated that it will continue to leverage the strength and flexibility of its global footprint to adapt quickly to market shifts and customer needs. The company explains that it remains committed to operational excellence, world-class service, and meaningful outcomes for its stakeholders.
