Jinjing Technology Plans to Close Subsidiary's Soda Ash and Baking Soda Lines

On October 30, 2026, Jinjing Technology announced plans to close the soda ash and baking soda production lines at its majority-owned subsidiary, Shandong Haitian Bio-Chemical, as part of an effort to optimize its business structure and reduce continuing losses.

The company plans to dismantle equipment and dispose of assets associated with the lines, while shifting toward a high-end coated functional glass production line. The proposed closure is a planned step rather than a completed withdrawal from production.

The decision reflects pressure on profitability in the soda ash industry and shows how one producer is responding through capacity optimization and a change in business focus. The effect on supply will depend on how the closure is carried out; the announcement alone does not establish the scale of any wider market impact.

Further company announcements on the closure, asset disposal and glass production plans will be relevant to assessing how the transition progresses.
