Nynas continues to supply high quality bitumen in Western Europe

Nynas will continue to deliver the company’s Extra and Premium grades of quality bitumen from Antwerp and Stettin to customers in Western Europe in 2015.

On November 18, the decision to close the Nynas NV Continental Europe bitumen business was announced. The business had been making a loss during the last years and Nynas saw no immediate realistic option for improvements. Irrespective of this decision, Nynas will continue to supply bitumen to its customers in the region specifically demanding the Nynas high quality grades Extra and Premium.

The Nynas bitumen business in the UK and Nordic region remains unaffected.
