2013年9月,美国化工巨头亨斯迈公司(HUN)宣布将以11亿美元现金收购特种化学品生产商洛克伍德控股公司(ROC)的高性能添加剂和二氧化钛业务,并且表示,此举将帮助提高其颜料业务的竞争力。此次收购将使亨斯迈成为世界第二大二氧化钛和无机颜料生产商。根据协议,该公司还将承担被收购方大约2.25亿美元的养老金债务。 In September 2013, the U.S. chemical giant Huntsman Inc. announced that it will acquire the high-performance additives and titanium dioxide business of specialty chemical producer Rockwood Holdings (ROC) for $ 1.1 billion in cash and said the move will help Improve the competitiveness of its pigment business. The acquisition will make Huntsman the second largest titanium dioxide and inorganic pigment manufacturer in the world. Under the agreement, the company will also assume the acquirer’s approximately $ 225 million in pension debt.
