Clariant Capital Markets Day Focuses on Value Creation
MUTTENZ, Switzerland – Specialty chemicals company Clariant provided an update on its strategy to reach its 2015 mid-term targets at the company’s annual Capital Markets Day on June 28. In addition to investment in research and development (R&D), the company plans to focus on high-growth markets.
With the integration of the growth businesses Catalysis & Energy and Functional Minerals and the planned divestment of five low-growth, low-profitability businesses, Clariant’s adjusted portfolio has a high exposure to markets with future perspectives and strong growth rates. In those markets, the company has competitive positions and a superior pricing power. This is reflected in a significantly higher earnings quality.
