New Global President for Huntsman

Huntsman has appointed André Genton as Global President of its Advanced Materials Division which recently became a separate operating division in Huntsman. The establishment of a separate division is also a result of global expansion of materials sales and a recent diversification in products and applications. ­André Genton said: "Our target is to replace existing solutions through sustainable, economic and safer materials. As an example, we see the global push for better energy policies as an opportunity. Based on a program of investment in ­innovation and partnership, we will do our best to seize the opportunities in times of crisis."
