Arkema exits plastics additives to refocus strategy
Arkema announced it will sell its plastics additives business, including MBS and acrylic copolymers, to Indian group Praana. This move aims to refocus the company on higher value-added activities, particularly specialty materials and battery solutions, as evidenced by its partnership with Semcorp. Despite this strategic realignment, Arkema's stock has declined over 30% in the past year, reflecting ongoing cyclical challenges in the materials market.
