Huntsman Pigments, a division of the chemical company Huntsman Corporation, is to close its Grimsby plant with the loss of 201 jobs by the end of March 2009. The job cuts will affect 126 full-time and 75 contracted staff. The company blamed the losses on the falling demand for its titanium oxide pigment.
