Avient acquired the Clariant Masterbatch business (CMB) on July 1, 2020 (the “Acquisition Date”).
With the Clariant Masterbatch
acquisition and divestment of the
PP&S business, our exposure is now
concentrated in less-cyclical and
high-growth markets, with increased
geographic diversification and a more
specialized portfolio that can
significantly expand EBITDA margins.

SUMMARY: WHY INVEST IN AVIENT?
We are Avient.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-04/bergamid-electronic-connectors-case-study.pdf
Traditionally, many connectors of this type are produced
using liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) formulated with carbon
fiber.
THE SOLUTION
Because they knew Avient could help, the connector
company’s design engineers invited Avient into the
development process.
Avient’s service and support extended beyond the design
phase.
