Table 1.1 - Major changes to corporate group structure or operations
Penrice Soda Holdings Limited (Penrice) closed Osborne Adelaide soda ash planias scheduled on 30 1
June 2013 and switched from
manufacturing soda ash to importing and distributing soda ash through the joint venture company, Pro Asia Pacific Pty Ltd with the world's largest independent soda ash distributor, Soda Ash Holding BV, sourcing soda ash from American Natural Soda Ash Corporation (ANSAC), the world's largest soda ash exporter.
The soda ash plant is being decommissioned. Penrice's sodium bicarbonate plant was modified to accept imported soda ash; a new lime plant is fully operational. Penrice continues to operate its lime plant since the lime manufacturing produces carbon dioxide which is required in its sodium bicarbonate plant.
