Though demand will be softening in various parts of the chemicals market, Clariant AG's order backlog is "still high", Bloomberg reported Dec. 20, citing an interview with the company's CEO in Switzerland-based newspaper Finanz und Wirtschaft.
Hariolf Kottmann told Finanz und Wirtschaft that he expects Clariant to fare well in another downturn because half of the company's business is "more or less resistant" to economic volatility.
