We noted
yesterday Mick Cornett's role in keeping chemical maker Tronox from relocating their world headquarters. After the sale of Kerr McGee to Anadarko last week, Tronox officials are assuring Oklahomans that it is keeping its 3oo workers in Oklahoma City.
OKLAHOMA CITY – Tronox Inc. – formerly the chemicals division of Kerr-McGee – continues to consider its options regarding a move out of the Kerr-McGee Tower, company spokeswoman Debbie Schramm said Monday.
Tronox, which Schramm said will likely remain in Oklahoma City, was spun off on March 30 and became an independent company the following day.
“We are leasing from Kerr-McGee, and in the downtown office we have approximately 200 workers,” Schramm said. “We have 100 employees at the Tech Center at NW 150th and Portland, which Tronox owns.”
“The state Legislature (through SB 1577) gave incentives for us to keep our headquarters here,” Schramm said. Chairman and CEO Tom Adams is expected to advise the Tronox board of intentions to stay in the city.
