PolyOne has decided to shut six different operational plants which had been purchased as a part of Spartech Corporation. Although this action might increase the savings of the company but it is also going to result in unemployment of around 250 employees.
PolyOne CEO, President and Chairman Stephen Newlin was busy telling people that the decision to merge PolyOne Corporation and Spartech Corporation will result in the company providing better and innovative products to its different customers. However there is a likely chance that closing down of the plants will result in providing low number of products. The deal is going to synergize costs by the end of third year.
