Trinseo is restarting the sales process for its Styrenics business, and it will focus on marketing individual plants and regional businesses, the US-based styrenics and engineered materials producer said on Thursday.
Trinseo had paused the process in July 2022 because of economic uncertainty and deterioration in financial markets.
