FutureFuel Announcement and Update.
BATESVILLE, Ark., Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FutureFuel Corp. (NYSE: FF) ("FutureFuel,” the "Company,” “we” and “us”), a manufacturer of custom and performance chemicals and biofuels, announced today certain updates in respect of its business.
Chemicals:
We are pleased to announce the startup of our new specialty chemical production investment. This capacity will enable us to vertically integrate into one of our key raw materials used on-site, while also making products available to the market. Our production volume will ramp up throughout Q4 and will begin contributing more significantly to our sales starting in Q1 2026.
Biodiesel:
In June 2025, we decided that, given the lack of clarity in the regulatory environment supporting Biodiesel production and historic highs in input costs, it was in the Company’s best interest to idle our Biodiesel production until conditions improve. Since June, we have gained greater clarity around the support provided to Biodiesel producers under IRA 45Z, which we can now incorporate into our production economics. In addition, we have seen a slight improvement in the input market, partially driven by record soybean crops and limited export demand for soybeans. We have become a bit more optimistic that, subject to market conditions, we will be able to procure the inputs needed to restart Biodiesel production sometime in Q4 2025.
Headquarters location:
To streamline our operations and focus on our main production, technology, and administrative site, we have decided to close our remote headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri and consolidate all corporate activities and key personnel at our Batesville, Arkansas, production facility.
