About ARKEMA

Arkema is a leading French chemical group listed on Euronext Paris under ISIN FR0010313833. The company was created in 2006 following the spin-off of Total’s chemicals division, and it has since undergone a deliberate transformation toward specialty materials in order to reduce exposure to more cyclical commodity-style businesses. Arkema was listed in Paris in 2006, marking the beginning of its life as an independent industrial group. Since then, management has pursued a long-term portfolio shift supported by targeted investments and acquisitions in adhesives, advanced materials and coating-related solutions. Today, Arkema’s activities are organized around three specialty materials pillars — Adhesive Solutions, Advanced Materials and Coating Solutions — which accounted for roughly 92% of group sales in 2024. The company also maintains an Intermediates segment, made up of more competitive but more cyclical businesses, whose share in the portfolio is expected to gradually decline. This structure reflects a clear strategic objective: to strengthen higher value-added, more innovative and more resilient businesses over time. Arkema offers a broad range of products and solutions for diverse industrial end markets: high-performance adhesives through Bostik, advanced materials used in electrification, new energy systems, 3D printing, bio-based products and sports applications, as well as coating solutions for paints, performance coatings and related industrial uses. The group also highlights expertise in bio-based materials, recycling and the circular economy, which are central themes in its innovation and growth strategy. From a financial perspective, Arkema has reached meaningful scale, with 2024 sales of €2.722 billion in Adhesive Solutions and €3.562 billion in Advanced Materials, underscoring the growing contribution of specialty businesses to the group’s profile. Profitability in these segments remains above that of the intermediates businesses, supporting the strategic logic of the portfolio shift. Arkema has a global industrial and commercial footprint, with a strong presence in Europe, North America and Asia, and operates numerous production sites, research centers and commercial teams worldwide. The company also emphasizes innovation, with new patents filed each year and sustainability embedded in its long-term development model.
