科莱恩 在其资本市场活动之际上调了 2011 年的销售额和利润率目标。根据一份新闻稿，该公司预计与 2010 年相比，以当地货币计算的销售额将实现高个位数增长，EBITDA 利润率将在 13.5-14.5% 之间。
“With the beginning of 2011, Clariant has switched from restructuring to growth,” said CEO Hariolf Kottmann in a prepared statement. “Our well-positioned traditional businesses have further potential to improve their performance while the newly to be integrated Süd-Chemie businesses will drive higher sales growth and help to improve our margins. Applying our value-based performance management approach, we are confident to achieve our mid-term targets until 2015, using both organic growth and portfolio management.”
科莱恩重申其未来支付稳定股息的政策，并打算恢复 2011 年全年的股息支付。
科莱恩还通过 35% 扩大了其 Mowilith 乳液的生产能力。根据一份新闻稿，额外的产能特别适用于其范围广泛的共聚物和三元共聚物产品线。
该投资将使该部门能够通过为客户提供商业和技术利益的新产品来增强其产品组合。据该公司称，科莱恩将在其生产中纳入一系列弹性体三元共聚物和新的溶剂清漆和搪瓷乳液替代品。
“Market demand has been growing constantly and Clariant is committed to keeping up with this growth, providing its customers with customized solutions supported by our global Research & Development network,” said Guillermo Bruno, business unit emulsions manager for Clariant Argentina in a prepared statement.
