Sartomer, Cray Valley Realign Business Units

Sartomer Company and sister company Cray Valley, both part of Total's chemical branch, are realigning parts of their organizations "to better synchronize products and services with customers and markets," they have jointly stated. The changes became effective January 1, 2010.

Sartomer's photocure business will operate as a new business entity, Sartomer USA, LLC. Sartomer president Marcel de Wolf will continue his global management responsibilities, which will now include Sartomer USA.

In addition, a new business unit has been created called Hydrocarbon Specialty Chemicals (HSC), which will operate as Cray Valley USA, LLC. This unit will handle the Norsolene and Wingtack® tackifying resins, along with Poly BD®, Ricon®, Krasol®, SMA®, SR® and Saret® rubber coagents, which were previously marketed under the Sartomer name. Charles-Henri Robert will be the president of the new HSC business unit.
