ARKEMA
French group reduces investments, renews profit warning / Speciality chemicals also suffering from declining sales
— By PIE staff — Speciality chemicals group Arkema is also no longer benefitting from its niche market and is having to tighten its belt. CEO Thierry Le Hénaff is stepping up cost-cutting measures, primarily by lowering already reduced investments to EUR 600 mn in the coming year. Additionally, the group... (11.11.2025)
TRINSEO
US company sees higher net loss / Earnings forecast lowered
— By PIE staff — For plastics company Trinseo, 2025 is shaping up to be a year to forget. Management under CEO Frank Bozich now expects a full-year group loss of USD 408 mn to USD 418 mn and an adjusted EBITDA of USD 167 mn to USD 177 mn.
