Clariant and Conser further strengthen partnership in the maleic anhydride industry
Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Conser, part of MAIRE Group, for the supply of maleic anhydride catalysts. The partners will develop next-generation catalysts based on Clariant’s successful SynDane series, with the aim of offering superior productivity, cost efficiency and sustainability. The partnership comes at an opportune time as the demand for maleic anhydride continues to grow worldwide, particularly in China. Maleic anhydride is not only an essential component of polymers and coatings used in the construction, automotive, marine, and energy industries, but also an important intermediate for producing biodegradable plastics.

The agreement further strengthens the collaboration between our companies, which started more than a decade ago. To date, five new projects have selected Clariant catalysts with Conser technology for the production of maleic anhydride. Our partnership will increase the number of customers benefitting from our combined capabilities.”
Alessandro Bernini, MAIRE Chief Executive Officer, commented: “With this agreement we further improve the soundness of our Sustainable Technology Solutions portfolio which spans from technology licensing to proprietary equipment and other high-value services, in line with the execution of our ten-year plan. We are eager to work with Clariant to further improve our technological offer to best serve clients’ demands for innovative energy-efficient solutions.”
