Versalis, the chemical arm of Italian oil company Eni, is set to close its synthetic rubber plant in Hythe, England, by the end of March with the loss of more than 100 staffers and at least as many contractors.

Versalis’s elastomer production activities in Grangemouth, Scotland, are not affected by the move.
