Pulcra Chemicals: Cognis carves out Process Chemicals strategic business unit
The new company will be run according to a more cost-effective business model that better reflects the needs of its customers. Pulcra Chemicals will develop, produce and market tailored products at competitive prices, backed with comprehensive customer service, including advice on applications. It will operate sites and service centers in Germany, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, and the USA.
For customers in the fiber industry, Pulcra Chemicals offers additives for the manufacturing and processing of man-made fibers. For the textile industry, it provides products and technical services for every stage of the production process, from the manufacture of yarns and fabrics, through dyeing and printing, right up to the final treatment. Its leather products are used in beamhouse, tanning, and finishing processes.
To enable the company to better meet the needs of its customers, especially in the fast-growing markets of China and other Asian countries, approximately 3.8 million euros was invested last year in the expansion and modernization of its site at Jinshan, near Shanghai, China.
From July 1, 2007, Cognis' Process Chemicals strategic business unit will trade as an independent company under the new name of Pulcra Chemicals.
