Restructuring leads to new appointments at Arkema

13/04/2007
 
France-based chemicals company Arkema is reorganising its Vinyl Products business segment by splitting its Chlorochemicals and PVC business unit into two separate business units: Chlorine/Soda and PVC. The other two business units, Vinyl Compounds and Pipes/Profiles (Alphacan), remain unchanged.

As part of this restructuring, several new appointments have been made. Frédéric Marot-Achillas has been named group president PVC business unit, Denis Tual, becomes group president Chlorine/Soda business unit, and Gérard Robert will take over as industrial director for the Vinyl Products business segment.

The company also announced the launch of a new website entirely dedicated to Pebax polyether block amides, from its range of high-performance technical polymers. With properties such as lightweightness, flexibility and elasticity, it can be used in a variety of applications ranging from sports equipment to electronics.

The company operates in more than 40 countries and has 17,000 employees.
