Arkema is a French chemical company formerly known for its large presence in the global acrylics market. However, the company has now developed a strong portfolio of speciality materials. Arkema is organised into four segments. Adhesive solutions, advanced materials, and coatings solutions contain the more specialized material businesses. The intermediates segment houses the remaining commodity chemical businesses. Geographically, sales are split fairly equally between Europe, the U.S., and Asia.
