*Credit Opinion*

=============

The subject is a subsidiary, wholly owned by Huntsman Corporation in The United States.

 

In its website the parent introduces itself as follows:

 

Quote:

 

Huntsman is a global manufacturer and marketer of differentiated chemicals.  Our operating companies manufacture products for a variety of global industries, including chemicals, plastics, automotive, aviation, textiles, footwear, paints and coatings, construction, technology, agriculture, health care, detergent, personal care, furniture, appliances and packaging. 

 

Originally known for pioneering innovations in packaging and, later, for rapid and integrated growth in petrochemicals, Huntsman has approximately 12,000 employees and operates from multiple locations worldwide.  The Company had 2013 revenues of over $11 billion.

 

Message from the Founder and Chairman

 

More than four decades ago, in 1970, we founded Huntsman Container Corporation.  We had no idea then that our fledgling packaging business would evolve into what has become one of the world's largest chemical companies.  Through a series of strategic acquisitions, joint ventures and carefully planned internal expansions, our operating companies today produce 33 billion pounds of products for a variety of global businesses, including chemicals, plastics, automotive, aviation, footwear, paints and coatings, construction, technology, agriculture, health care, textiles, detergent, personal care, furniture, appliances and packaging. 

 

Our success is due, in large measure, to the thousands of associates who work in our facilities around the world to manufacture the chemical industry's highest quality products.

 

We have been most fortunate to build a company of this magnitude, and it is our duty and privilege to give back to society.  Through our humanitarian initiatives, we have helped to provide food and housing to the hungry and homeless around the world; we have funded education for those who otherwise would not have been able to attend school. 

 

Most importantly, our dream of establishing a world class cancer research and treatment center has been realized.   The Huntsman Cancer Institute and Hospitals represents our purpose in life, and our ultimate goal will have been achieved when the most challenging forms of cancer have been eradicated.  Our family will continue to serve as the principal benefactors and fundraisers for the Huntsman Cancer Institute in the quest to prevent, diagnose, treat and cure cancer.
