Clariant„In den ersten neun Monaten hat Clariant durch ein ausgewogenes, wachstumsorientiertes Portfolio in einem sich verschlechternden weltwirtschaftlichen Umfeld ein besseres Wachstum erzielt als der Markt insgesamt“, so CEO Hariolf Kottmann. „Die Volumina waren hoch und die Preise stabil, wobei sich die Branchen, Endmärkte und Regionen uneinheitlich entwickelt haben. Obwohl wir davon ausgehen, dass diese Herausforderungen im vierten Quartal fortbestehen werden, sind wir zuversichtlich, dass wir unsere Ziele für 2014, darunter eine beträchtliche Cashflow-Generierung in den verbleibenden Monaten des Jahres, erreichen werden.“
