Kingchem Plant Fully Operational After Waste-Water Incident Near Plant In Fuxin

Kingchem is pleased to announce that its Kingchem Liaoning Chemical Co. plant located in Fuxin, Liaoning has resumed production and was fully operational as of 15 September 2020. The now expired shutdown was put into effect after an incident occurred at a waste-water treatment plant serving the overall industrial park where Kingchem’s plant is located. The full resumption of operations was based on notice received from local authorities. Kingchem emphasized that the employees of the plant and the plant itself were always safe throughout the incident. As well, Kingchem’s employees continued to work with the industrial park to help resolve the park’s issues triggered by the incident. Kingchem also took the shutdown as an opportunity to conduct numerous plant EHS improvements and perform annual maintenance, all of which smoothly passed the local authority’s EHS inspection. The company is also evaluating strategic long- and short-term solutions available in order to minimize any possible risk of interruptions to production that might be caused by a third party.

Although the shutdown was triggered by the park wastewater treatment plant, Kingchem apologizes for the delay caused to each impacted customer and is fully committed to minimize any delays in product delivery.

Customers are asked to communicate with their corresponding business team member for product delivery schedule updates.
