On October 8, 2026, Arkema inaugurated a new acrylic acid purification unit at its Carling site in France. Equipped with an innovative process, this facility contributes to the decarbonization of the European chemical industry. The inauguration took place in the presence of Thierry Le Hénaff and Stéphane Séjourné, underscoring the importance of supporting the chemical industry in Europe.
The investment, totaling approximately €150 million, is part of Arkema's ambitious climate plan, which includes €400 million in expenditures between 2022 and 2030.
