Evonik will continue optimizing its global methionine production for MetAMINO, with technical measures requiring shutdowns of 6-7 weeks each at its Singapore site in August/September and its Antwerp site in September/October 2025. The work includes catalyst exchanges and energy efficiency and emissions upgrades.
Evonik says the measures support long-term supply security for customers.
Planned shutdowns at two major methionine plants remove a significant share of capacity during peak feed demand, which supports methionine prices. Tighter supply from Evonik's outages adds to the upward pressure from other producers' maintenance.
