Soda Ash Production Starting up in Granger

FMC is restarting its Granger soda ash production plant in southwest Wyoming.
The company says the plant will reopen in July and provide work for about 80 people.
Officials say the reopening is in response to the recent strong export demand for southwest Wyoming soda ash.
FMC suspended production at the Granger facility in 2009 due to reduced export demand caused by the global economic downturn.
FMC Wyoming Corp. President Ed Flynn tells the Casper Star-Tribune that U.S. export markets have recovered much faster than the U.S. domestic market.
Soda ash is used in glass, soaps and detergents, as well as in some industrial chemicals.
