Please find enclosed the Arkema Coating Division Presentation from the Capital Day 2015,June 29 related to Arkema Acrylic Value Chain

 

I would like to highlight some key messages about Arkema strategy in Acrylics 2004-2014 and from 2015

 

2004-2014:

A FULL GLOBAL AND INTEGRATED ACRYLIC VALUE CHAIN BUILT OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS

• Competitive world-scale units in Europe, North America and Asia
• A downstream integration in coating materials built from scratch in 6 years Coatex (2007) Emulsions (2010) Cray Valley / Sartomer (2011)

 

Ambition from 2015 on

• being a global and more resilient leading  integrated player

 

     key pillars

          ==> Very competitive monomer base through Technology leadership, Operational excellence, Successful integration of Sunke’s assets

          ==> Reinforce  acrylic monomers  downstream through Partnerships, Geographic expansions, Innovation, Bolt-on acquisitions

 

 

Acryic Monomer Demand CAGR: Global 4-5%,  NA 2-3%, EMEA: 1-2%, Asia 6-7%

 

Arkema expect Acrylics situation to move from current "low cycle" to "mid cycle" by 2017
