Our view on Clariant divesting masterbatches
At K2019 we became aware of the global simplification of Clariant’s activities and its divestment of the masterbatch business. This was of special interest because at K2019 Clariant was showing some innovations in sustainability-oriented masterbatches. It is good to finally know how the simplification and divestment of the masterbatch business are playing out in India also.
