Venator, which has successfully completed the Chapter 11 recapitalization process and has improved its balance sheet and lower debt. Companies are now better able to respond to macroeconomic and market challenges. Venator's recapitalization plan was confirmed by the bankruptcy court on July 25, 2023. After experiencing unprecedented macroeconomic headwinds, Venator entered the restructuring process, which included a significant decline in product demand and rising raw material and energy costs.
