Clariant was formed in 1995 as a spin-off from the chemical company, Sandoz, which was itself established in Basel in 1886. This specialty chemical company is headquartered in Muttenz, Switzerland. The company offers a range of innovative solutions for customers from many industries. Clariant operates through four business areas: Care Chemicals, Natural Resources, Catalysis, and Plastics and Coatings. Clariant business units include Additives, Catalysts, Functional Minerals, Industrial and Consumer Specialties, Masterbatches, Oil and Mining Services, Pigments, and New Businesses.
