As a reslt, we maderomising strides in alternatie energies,lie solar hotooltais and lithim ionbatteries, and in water treatmentand omosite materials.

The aqisition in 2009 o a ortiono Dow chemial’s arli monomerand arli emlsions oerations in theunited States was a major milestonein Arema’s transormation.This transation – $450-million o sales

– ontines the arlis eansion thatbegan with the aqisition o coate in 2007, and maes s the third-largestglobal and seond-largest u.S. arlismanatrer.
