Celanese to set up technology center in Mexico

As part of its 70^th anniversary of doing business in Mexico, Celanese Corporation, a specialty materials company, is setting up a new commercial and technology center in Mexico to support the growth of Celanese customers in Latin America and advance the technical capabilities of the Celanese product portfolio.
 
Celanese began cellulose derivatives manufacturing operations in Ocotlan, Jalisco, in 1945, and since then has built a world-class chemicals production site in Cangrejera and a logistics facility in Coatzacoalcos. With the opening of a commercial and technology center in Mexico, Celanese will be positioned to offer customers a diversified portfolio of products and solutions – from intermediate chemicals and engineered materials, to technical expertise and support.
 
“Companies from around the world are drawn to Mexico and the region for its technology and manufacturing innovation and growth outlook. Our commercial and technology center will serve as a source for on-the-ground expertise and collaboration with our customers,” said Mark Rohr, chairman and chief executive officer, Celanese.
 
The new center will serve industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, appliance, medical device, petrochemical and aerospace. A team of talented technologists will support Celanese customers in the region who are accelerating global product innovations for engineering polymers, food ingredients, adhesives, paints and coatings, mining, and consumer products.
