US firm plans to close North Wales chemical plant with 140 jobs a risk

Up to 140 jobs are under threat after the US owners of a chemical factory in Flintshire announced plans to close the plant. Warwick Chemicals in Mostyn was taken over by US firm Lubrizol in December 2014, but could be shutting its doors just seven years later.

The plant dates back to the 1950s and produces chemicals that are used in dishwashing and laundry tablets. Its closure would be a second hammer blow to north Wales' industry after the closure of NWP Electrical & Mechanical Ltd in July.
