CELANESE COMMITMENT TO ASIA HIGH INVESTMENT IN THE REGION Celanese has been committed to serving Asia for decades. Growth in the Asian region and China in particular has been a key part of our strategy. The Celanese Nanjing (China) Chemical Complex is our second largest integrated complex in the world. The site is a world-class manufacturing facility with numerous operating units for three of our businesses that share infrastructure and resources. Celanese is committed to social responsibility with a strong emphasis on environmental stewardship and sustainable development. We are working to expand a positive site-level and collective impact worldwide through an increased emphasis on direct investment and local employee engagement. Celanese promotes many volunteer opportunities across the globe during our Global Impact Week, aligning with the company s value of Improving the World. WORLD-CLASS EMULSIONS FACILITY The Nanjing site is backwards integrated to acetic acid and vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), a key raw material for emulsion vinyl-based polymers. This integration allows for a reliable supply. Our emulsions plant includes highpressure reactors to synthesize state-of-the-art vinyl acetate ethylene (VAE) emulsions. The facility also includes atmospheric reactors to manufacture high-performance homopolymers, copolymers and pure acrylic emulsions. All emulsion products meet our global quality standards. In June of 2011, Celanese Emulsions dedicated its VAE expansion in Nanjing, which doubled our VAE capacity. The third VAE facility to be opened in Singapore in 2016 allows us to better serve the Asian region s growing market. The Celanese Shanghai Commercial and Technology Center officially opened in January 2011, further expanding our presence in the area. This facility serves as the headquarters for Celanese Asia and includes our emulsions business, and the region s customer application development labs and research center. Hundreds of Celanese scientists, design engineers and technical experts work together under one roof in this new, state-of-the-art facility.
