Our company is positioned to sustainably grow at a rate that
exceeds GDP.
With the Clariant Masterbatch
acquisition and divestment of the
PP&S business, our exposure is now
concentrated in less-cyclical and
high-growth markets, with increased
geographic diversification and a more
specialized portfolio that can
significantly expand EBITDA margins.
