Borregaard ASA: Operational issues and lower biovanillin demand in the 4th quarter
Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.
During the 4th quarter of 2023, operational issues have affected production at the Sarpsborg site, reducing the result mainly in BioMaterials.

This is due to various failures in production equipment after maintenance, as well as prolonged commissioning of new equipment. The operational issues have now been addressed, and no carry-over effects are expected into the 1st quarter of 2024.

In total, the negative...
