“Salary Rounding” lets employees in France donate the euro cents on their monthly pay slip to a nonprofit of their choice, from among the six selected by Arkema.

February
New Project to Produce Polyamide 12 in China by Mid-2020. We unveil a 25% expansion of Arkema’s global polyamide 12 production capacity, alongside the major project we had already announced in the bio-based polyamide 11 chain. The addition at the Changshu complex in China will help us keep pace with strong demand in Asia for applications such as cable protection, lightweight automotive materials to replace metal, and high-tech sports shoes.
