Company description
Arkema, a world chemical major
The creation of Arkema, in October 2004, was inspired by a resolutely forward-looking industrial rationale. With its extensive global presence, 18,600 employees in over 40 countries, 120 facilities and 90 production plants in Europe, North America and Asia, a large degree of autonomy and a solid financial structure, Arkema is poised to become independent in the spring of 2006.
Arkema has all the necessary assets to achieve long-term success and become one of the top leaders in its sector, through innovative chemistry and listening closely to the needs of its customers, while remaining exemplary in safety and sustainable development.
Arkema’s ambition is to affirm its competitiveness, especially through targeted growth in Europe and North America, and by strengthening its presence in Asia, with the resolve to play a leading role in the consolidation of the chemical industry.
