Hariolf Kottmann, Clariant CEO, said: "With the opening of this site in Coatzacoalcos, Clariant will strengthen the competitive solutions, for which we are known by our clients around the world. Mexico is a key player for our operations in Latin America and this site will be an important reference for the international standards of innovation, sustainability and competitiveness that we want to consolidate within the region.”
