Sudarshan Chemical Divests VP4 Frankfurt to Celanese, Sharpening Focus
on Core Pigments Business
Pune, India | 1 September 2026 Sudarshan Chemical Industries Limited (Sudarshan) today
announced the sale of its step-down subsidiary VP4 Frankfurt GmbH ("VP4" Frankfurt) to
Celanese Corporation, USA, further sharpening the company’s focus on its core pigments
business. VP4 Frankfurt is engaged in the manufacture of certain intermediates such as
Diketene, primarily as a tolling operator for Nutrinova, an affiliate of Celanese Corporation
and Mitsui & Co. Japan. VP4 Frankfurt became part of Sudarshan through its acquisition of
the Heubach Group. This divestment strengthens Sudarshan's strategic focus and
operational position.
VP4 Frankfurt serves Nutrinova as its principal customer, with only a small share of its output
going to Sudarshan for captive consumption. Diketene is an important intermediate for
functional food ingredients, making the asset a stronger strategic fit with Celanese and
Nutrinova, a producer of additives for the food industry such as sweeteners. The transaction,
therefore, places VP4 Frankfurt more closely aligned with its principal customer. Following
completion of the transaction, Nutrinova will continue to supply Sudarshan with the
materials it requires.
"The sale of VP4 Frankfurt is a strategic step in sharpening our focus. Pigments and colorants
are where we create the most value for our customers. VP4 is a well-run business with a
strong team, and it now moves to the company it already serves. That is the right outcome for
the asset, for its employees, and for Sudarshan,"
- Rajesh Rathi, Chairman & Managing Director, Sudarshan Chemical Industries
Limited
