Summary · why it matters

Celanese Corporation has agreed to sell an additional 19% stake in its Nutrinova food ingredients joint venture to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for $152 million in cash, reducing its ownership to 11% while strengthening its balance sheet. The transaction, which contributed about $4 million in equity earnings in 2025, will allow Celanese to continue participating in the food ingredients business. Proceeds will be used to reduce net debt and repay upcoming maturities, supporting its goal of $1 billion in divestiture proceeds by the end of 2027. As part of the deal, Celanese will temporarily operate a diketene production facility in Frankfurt before transferring it to Nutrinova, with Mitsui covering the purchase price and operating costs. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.
