DETAILS
Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE)
today announced it has ceased
production, storage and distribution of
monomethylamine (MMA)
at its Cangrejera, Mexico,
acetyl intermediates manufacturing facility.
The production cessation includes
both anhydrous and 50 percent solution grades of MMA.
After a strategic business review,
Celanese has concluded
that production and distribution of MMA
are no longer a viable business option.
The site will continue to produce
dimethylamine (DMA) and trimethylamine (TMA)
with a focus on growing and expanding
the company’s amines business, along with
other key acetyl products manufactured at the site.
To support continued growth of
the Celanese amines business globally,
MMA production equipment at the Cangrejera facility
has been completely converted to produce
increased volumes of DMA and TMA exclusively.
