🌍 Concerns over anti-dumping measures on TiO₂ 🎨 Nicolas DUJARDIN, COO at Océinde, SA raises crucial points about the recent anti-dumping duties on titanium dioxide (TiO₂) from China. With duties reaching up to 39.7%, the European paint and coatings industry faces potential challenges: 🔹 Increased Costs: TiO₂ prices could rise significantly, impacting SMEs and potentially driving them out of business. 🔹 Supply Chain Risks: A shortage in TiO₂ production could disrupt supply chains and escalate costs. 🔹 Environmental Impact: Importing finished products instead of raw materials may increase CO2 emissions, contradicting the EU's Green Deal objectives. Dujardin suggests a more gradual implementation of duties and increased support for local production to mitigate these risks. After consultant Reg Adams discussed the positive effects of the measure, Paula Salastie from Teknos expressed a significantly more critical view. She highlighted the economic and environmental risks that threaten the competitiveness of the European paints and coatings industry. ➡ For more insights and possible solutions, read the full statements: https://lnkd.in/dWcpsG_t ➡ The full interview with Paula Salastie: https://lnkd.in/dXFJK8sh ➡ Read Reg Adam's views: https://lnkd.in/dYS_sVGz #coatingsindustry #EuropeanCoatings #titaniumdioxide #tio2 #antidumping #innovation #sustainability #industrychallenges

🌍 The future of the European paints & coatings industry at risk? Anti-dumping duties on Chinese titanium dioxide (TiO₂) raise alarms The European Commission's plan to impose anti-dumping duties on TiO₂ imports from China has sparked significant concern across the European paints and coatings industry. Paula Salastie, CEO of Teknos, warns that these duties could have far-reaching consequences for competitiveness, innovation, and employment within the EU. With TiO₂ being a critical raw material for the industry—used in over 90% of products—Salastie highlights the potential risks of supply shortages and soaring costs, which could lead to plant closures and job losses across Europe. While the duties aim to protect EU producers, the unintended consequences could undermine the very industry they intend to support. 🎙️ In an exclusive interview, Paula Salastie shared her views on the challenges these duties pose and the steps needed to safeguard the industry. 👉 Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/eE4-MURf 📊 Key Points: - Up to 40% increase in TiO₂ prices anticipated. - EU faces a 10% shortfall in TiO₂ supply. - Potential plant closures and significant job losses within the EU. - SMEs at risk of stunted innovation and investment gaps. How do you see these measures impacting the future of the European coatings industry?
