2013年10月30日,全球领先的特种化学品公司科莱恩宣布计划将其皮革服务业务单元售予斯塔尔(Stahl)。斯塔尔控股公司(Stahl Holdings B.V)是一家隶属于法国温德尔集团(Wendel Group)的荷兰公司,专门为皮革及其它应用提供高品质化学品,染料和涂料。此次合并将形成与独立运营相比具有更广泛、更高增长前景的皮革化学行业的全球领导者,并产生可观的潜在协同优势。 On October 30, 2013, Clariant, the world’s leading specialty chemicals company, announced plans to sell its leather service business unit to Stahl. Stahl Holdings B.V, a Dutch company affiliated with the French Wendel Group, specializes in providing high-quality chemicals, dyes and coatings for leather and other applications. The merger will form the global leader in the leather chemicals industry with broader and higher growth prospects than stand-alone operations with considerable potential synergies.
