Key Metrics
Celanese Corporation is a global chemical and specialty materials company. It is a global producer of high performance engineered polymers used in a variety of high-value applications, as well as one of the world's largest producers of acetyl products, which are intermediate chemicals for nearly all major industries. The company engineers and manufacture a wide variety of products essential to everyday living, with a broad product portfolio serving diverse end-use applications including automotive, chemical additives, construction, consumer and industrial adhesives, medical, consumer electronics, energy storage, filtration, paints and coatings, paper and packaging, industrial applications and textiles. The company operates principally through two business segments: Engineered Materials and the Acetyl Chain.
Celanese generates revenue through two primary segments. The Engineered Materials segment is a project-based business where growth is driven by increasing new project commercializations from a pipeline model. Revenue is generated by developing, producing, and supplying a broad portfolio of high performance specialty polymers for automotive, medical, industrial, and consumer electronics applications. Pricing in this segment is primarily based on value-in-use and is generally independent of raw material cost changes. The Acetyl Chain segment operates as an integrated business, producing and supplying acetyl products like acetic acid and vinyl acetate monomer (VAM). This segment leverages its ability to sell chemicals externally to end-use markets or downstream to its own businesses (such as acetate tow, emulsion polymers, and EVA polymers), with decisions based on market demand, trade flows, and maximizing the value of its chemicals. The company's products enjoy leading global positions and serve a large and diverse global customer base.
