Ciba divests masterbatches

October 9, 2006 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 84, Issue 41

Clariant is buying Ciba Specialty Chemicals' masterbatches business for an undisclosed price. The business has annual sales of about $65 million and operates in Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and France. It will be integrated into Clariant's own masterbatches business, which had sales in 2005 of roughly $910 million in additive concentrates for plastics molding. Ciba says the sale is in keeping with its focus on plastic additives, coating effects, and water and paper treatment.
