Company Information

Celanese Corp., a $6.4 billion global integrated chemical company which traces its history back to 1912 and became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange January 2005, manufactures products found in consumer and industrial applications. The company has manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe and Asia. According to the company, it is one of the world's largest producers of acetyl products, which are intermediate chemicals for nearly all major industries, as well as a leading global producer of high performance engineered polymers that are used in a variety of high-value end-use applications.

Celanese attributes its success to proprietary production technology.  Its production of acetyl products employs industry leading proprietary and licensed technologies, including its own AO Plus acid-optimization technology for the production of acetic acid and VAntage vinyl acetate monomer technology. AO Plus enables plant capacity to be increased with minimal investment, while VAntage enables significant increases in production efficiencies, lower operating costs and increases in capacity at 10% to 15% of the cost of building a new plant.
Based in Dallas, the company employs approximately 8,400 employees worldwide.
