柏斯托(Perstorp)在过去的10年中领导下,通过扩产产和增加新产品线,Capa™的盈利能力增长了近50%,这反过来又扩大了客户群和产品覆盖范围。这使得Capa™成为极具吸引力的资产,引起包括Ingevity在内几大厂商的兴趣。目前Ingevity成为继续开发企业长期价值的新所有者。Ingevity将收购Perstorp英国有限公司,包括Perstorp的整个己内酯业务。
Under
Perstorp’s leadership during the last 10 years, Capa’s operating
margins have increased by almost 50% by investing in production and
new product lines, which in turn have increased both the customer
base and the geographic reach. This has made Capa a highly
attractive asset, gaining interest among several potential buyers
of which Ingevity now will be the new owner to continue to develop
the long-term value of the business. Ingevity will acquire Perstorp
UK Ltd including Perstorp’s entire caprolactone business.
Capa™业务的销售将释放出巨大的价值,柏斯托2017最近一次从比利时格兰特(Gent)生物燃料业务的撤资一样释放出巨大价值。
The sale of Capa will unlock
significant value and is in line with Perstorp’s track record of
successful divestments such as most recently the BioFuels Business
and in 2017, the Belgian site in Gent.
这将使得Perstorp集团能够将业务机会和未来增长前景集中在 Polyol(多元醇)、Oxo和Feed(饲料)等业务上,最大限度地利用诸如此类的机会。
It will
furthermore enable the Perstorp Group to focus its business
opportunities and future growth prospects on its Polyol, Oxo and
Feed businesses, maximizing opportunities such as;
•
further building leadership in the polyol
business

the markets for phthalate free ( 非邻苯二甲酸酯增塑剂)plasticizer
Pevalen™
• expand
the markets for products within the animal nutrition
area
•
establishing its pro-environment solutions as the first choice
(certified products based on renewable raw materials)
