Archroma

Archroma is a global, diversified provider of specialty chemicals serving the branded and performance textiles, packaging and paper, and coatings, adhesives and sealants markets. Headquartered in Pratteln, Switzerland, the company operates a highly integrated, customer-focused platform delivering specialized performance, color and packaging solutions in over 90 countries, with over 4,000 employees in 42 countries and over 30 production sites. Archroma is a member of the SK Capital Partners group and has grown through acquisitions including BASF's global textile chemicals business (2015), M. Dohmen (between 2014 and 2018), BASF's stilbene-based OBA business (2019), and Huntsman Textile Effects (2023).

Archroma's heritage traces back to when Kern & Sandoz was established in 1886 in Basel to produce textile dyes. In 1995 Clariant was formed as a spin-off from Sandoz, and in 1997 acquired the specialty chemicals business of Hoechst. SK Capital acquired the then Textile Chemicals, Paper Specialties, and Emulsions businesses from Clariant Corporation in September 2013. The three divisions were combined into an integrated, market-focused, and collaborative company and renamed Archroma upon becoming an independent entity. Through this direct lineage and acquisitions, Archroma has knowledge and experience of chemistry and industry spanning more than 140 years. Archroma is a member of the SK Capital Partners group and continues to grow with additional acquisitions: in July 2015 it acquired the global textile chemicals business of BASF; between 2014 and 2018 it acquired M. Dohmen, an international group specializing in the production of textile dyes and chemicals for the automotive, carpet and apparel sectors; in December 2019 it acquired BASF's stilbene-based OBA business for paper and powder detergent applications, which included an additional production site in India; and in February 2023 it acquired Huntsman Textile Effects.
