LB Group Co., Ltd announced the successful completion of its acquisition of the titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment manufacturing site at Greatham, on Teesside, UK, and associated TiO2 assets from Venator Materials UK Ltd.

The acquisition comes after LB Group signed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Venator in October 2025. The transaction officially completed on 27 April 2026, marking Day 1 of integration. The newly created company will operate as Tioxide.

The Greatham site manufactures TIOXIDE and DELTIO premium chloride-process TiO2 pigments for coatings and plastics. The site has remained idle since last year, but LB Group aims to restart production in 2026. LB Group will work closely with employees, customers, suppliers,and local stakeholders for a smooth transition, and the long-term success of the site.
