Celanese announced a critical production network optimization step in its Engineered Materials business which will result in the closure of the company's Engineered Materials compounding facility in Ulsan, South Korea. Celanese is planning to cease all manufacturing and production operations at the Ulsan facility immediately. The company intends to support its customers to fulfill all contractual obligations and ensure a smooth transition of production and compounding activities to other Celanese manufacturing locations in the region. The production volumes from the Ulsan facility will be transferred to the company's Nanjing and Shenzhen plants in China, and to its plant in Silvassa, India.

Celanese announced a price increase for a range of engineered materials products in response to various factors, including recent market developments and global supply chain disruptions. Despite these dynamic conditions, Celanese remains well positioned to support its customers via its regional supply chain and manufacturing sites, as well as its technology and innovation centers. The price increases will be effective June 1, 2026, or as contracts otherwise allow.
