Stock Exchange Release
July 8, 2013 at 2.00 pm (CET+1)
In line with its strategy, Kemira has retained SEB for a process to review strategic options for its ChemSolutions segment.
In Q1 2013, Kemira divested ChemSolutions’ food and pharmaceuticals businesses and sold its shares in JV Sachtleben. Kemira continues the re-alignment of its portfolio. Accordingly, a process has been initiated to review the strategic options for ChemSolutions.
According to its strategy, Kemira focuses on pulp & paper, oil & gas, mining and water treatment and provides expertise and tailored combinations of chemicals for water-intensive industries. ChemSolutions is a non-core part of Kemira’s business with limited synergies to Kemira’s core business.
