Clariant consolidates activities in the Basel region, Switzerland

Nov 13, 2009. /Lesprom Network/. Clariant, announced that its operational management activities will be consolidated in Muttenz and the wider Basel region. This move reflects the new Clariant organizational structure which takes effect on January 1, 2010. In addition to the Clariant Switzerland operations the business units and business service functions will also be based in Muttenz going forward. The geographical concentration of these functions in one location will create synergies and facilitate the cooperation between business units and business services. The Executive Committee and the Corporate Center, with some 140 employees, will relocate to the new Aquabasilea office building in Pratteln in July 2010. In alignment with the new structure, Corporate Center activities will therefore also be physically separated from operational management. Muttenz will remain the company’s headquarters. The Münchenstein location will be closed end of September 2010, as part of the consolidation process.
