> Vynova Belgium told a works council that its Tessenderlo-Ham caustic potash plant will shut unit by unit, with everything stopped by November 5, citing energy costs and the need to limit cash outflow. A debt-restructuring plan is due at the Hasselt enterprise court about eight days after the final shutdown, and the court cannot extend the deadline past December 26.
