Clariant’s Q1 operations results down from FY2013

May 5, 2014 |

In Switzerland, Clariant’s Q1 results from continuing operations have come in at USD $1.7 billion compared to $1.73 billion  in Q1 of 2013. All Business Areas with the exception of Care Chemicals achieved mid to high single-digit sales growth. Care Chemicals was flat year on year, exclusively due to a virtually non-existent de-icing season in Europe. Excluding de-icing, growth in Care Chemicals was on a par with the other Business Areas. Catalysis & Energy opened the year on a positive note and confirmed the expected recovery in 2014. Natural Resources achieved good growth in both the Oil & Mining Services and Functional Minerals businesses. In the Plastics & Coatings Business Area, solid growth was accomplished in all areas, particularly in Pigments.
