Arkema Enhances GAA Supply with New Storage Capacity in Korea

The new tank will serve as a local storage hub for Arkema’s GAA business in Korea.
With domestic storage capacity in place, Arkema will be able to provide more differentiated,
reliable supplies to Korean customers.

Beyond its role in Korea, this project marks an important step in Arkema’s strategy
to further develop the GAA market in Northeast Asia. By adding a local storage node
to its regional supply network, Arkema will strengthen the connection between regional
supply capabilities, logistics and market operations, supporting a more integrated
supply setup for the region.

Hervé Castres Saint Martin, Group President for Acrylic Monomers at Arkema, said:_"
Asia is a key region in Arkema’s global acrylics footprint. This project in Korea
further strengthens our regional synergies across Northeast Asia and better connects
our production, supply and logistics networks. By bringing us closer to our Korean
customers, it will also enable our regional footprint to better support customer-
driven application development and collaborative innovation. This project reflects
our long-term commitment to deepening our presence in Asia, enhancing regional supply
resilience, and driving business growth through innovation and sustainability."_
