Venator Suspends Production in the UK by 2025; Chinese Ferrous Sulphate factory Supply EU and Southeast Asian Markets

In early September, 2025, affected by the global economic and commercial environment, the renowned British titanium dioxide supplier Venator announced the suspension of production at three plants: Venator Materials plc, Venator Materials International UK Limited, and Venator Investments UK Limited. On 13 September, Venator formally ceased operations at its titanium dioxide plant in Teluk Kalung, Malaysia.

Titanium dioxide output serves as a barometer for ferrous sulphate production, with each tonne of titanium dioxide yielding an average of three tonnes of ferrous sulphate feedstock. The shutdown of Venator, a major titanium dioxide producer and key European ferrous sulphate supplier, will inevitably exert significant pressure on both the EU and Southeast Asian ferrous sulphate markets. This closure will create a notable supply gap in both domestic EU and international markets, potentially prolonging the current supply-demand imbalance.

Against this backdrop, international buyers urgently require new, stable supply channels. In this context, China's ferrous sulfate manufacturer Rongqing Chemical emerges as a reliable choice. As China's leading ferrous sulphate producer and exporter, Rongqing Chemical possesses a comprehensive production chain and diverse product specifications with stable capacity, enabling rapid fulfilment of international market demands.

Rongqing Chemical's ferrous sulphate portfolio includes:

Ferrous Sulphate Monohydrate

Ferrous Sulphate Heptahydrate

With varied specifications, these products find extensive application in:

• Feed additives (iron supplementation)

• Trace element mineral fertilisers (crop growth nutrition)

• Industrial sectors

• Wastewater treatment and environmental applications

Leveraging stable production capacity, rigorous quality management systems, and flexible international logistics, Rongqing Chemical provides consistent ferrous sulphate supply to global clients. This effectively alleviates procurement pressures arising from market volatility in Europe, Southeast Asia, Malaysia, and other regions.

As traditional European supply chains become increasingly fragile, shifting towards high-quality Chinese manufacturers represents a rational choice for numerous international buyers. Rongqing Chemical stands ready to collaborate with global partners in jointly safeguarding the stability and development of the industrial chain.
