Arkema finalized the divestment of its Vinyl Products segment
Arkema finalized its project for the divestment of its Vinyl Products activities to the Klesch group announced in November 2011, and so continues to refocus its business on specialty chemicals.
The activities concerned by the project have been grouped within a new company called KEM ONE. Headquartered in Lyon, France, this company has an excellent balance sheet structure, and reports sales of around one billion euros.
“I would like to thank the personnel of the Vinyl Products segment for their involvement and commitment at Arkema over the years, and I wish them all every success in the future. This divestment is consistent with Arkema’s strategy to refocus its business on specialty product lines” said Thierry Le Hénaff, Arkema Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
