Formerly, Pulcra Chemicals was a subsidiary of Cognis which is a specialty chemical supplier.  In July 2008, Cognis signed an agreement to sell its Pulcra Chemicals subsidiary to Germany based Fashion Chemicals GmbH & Co. KG [Fashion Chemicals] for a consideration of €26.3 million.  The sale is in line with Cognis’ strategy of focusing on its core businesses driven by the wellness and sustainability trends.  Agreements respecting the transfer of the business and related transactions were signed on 14th July, 2008 in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Cognis sold its Pulcra Chemicals subsidiary to Fashion Chemicals, an investor backed mainly by DSD which is based in Istanbul, Turkey.  DSD is an organization with connections with the leather goods industry.  The shareholders of DSD include leading tanneries and leather manufacturers in Turkey.

The cash proceeds from the transaction amounted to about €23.1 million.  Approximately 9% of the cash proceeds was financed by members of Pulcra Chemical’s senior management team.  Fashion Chemicals additionally took over €15 million of financial liabilities (including debts and pensions).  The transaction was completed in the end of October 2008.

Pulcra Chemicals, which supplies process chemicals to the textile and leather industries, was previously the Process Chemicals strategic business unit [SBU] of Cognis.  The SBU was carved out into separate legal entities on 1st July, 2007, and renamed Pulcra Chemicals.  Pulcra operates production sites and service centres in Brazil, China, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Turkey and the United States.

Now, Pulcra Chemicals is a worldwide operating company and supplier of innovative specialty chemicals with profound process and engineering know‑how.  Based on more than 125 years being a partner to the fibre, textile, and leather industries, Pulcra Chemicals provides high-performance products and system solutions for increasing the productivity and environmental compatibility of complex manufacturing processes in the fibre, textile and leather industries.  It also develops and markets specific finishing treatments for functional textiles.

Concerning the fibre and textile segments, Pulcra Chemicals offers products and technical support covering all stages of the textile production chain.  Its portfolio ranges from process auxiliaries for the manufacturing of man-made fibres, across secondary spinning, weaving, pre-treatment, dyeing and printing, to finishes defining the final quality of fabrics and garments.

Now, Besides the subject, Pulcra Chemicals has had subsidiaries and associated companies in Germany, Italy, Spain, Turkey, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, China, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.  Pulcra Chemicals has about 540 employees worldwide.  Sales turnover in 2009 was €178.7 million and in 2010, was €197.0 million.
