The new business structure has enabled us to pool the Cognis competencies and to focus on the demands of global markets and trends like "wellness" and "sustainability & performance". Cognis is set for growth resulting from the development of new markets, especially in the Care Chemicals, Nutrition & Health and Functional Products business units. With proven innovation capabilities we not only offer solutions for today’s problems but are also actively involved in shaping the markets of the future, like products and solutions for functional clothing with skincare and wellness effects or long lasting freshness.
