This was the start of the Celanese Corporation, which today is a global producer of value-added industrial chemicals. They also produce acetyl products, including acetic acid, vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) and polyacetals (POM), and high-performance engineered polymers used in consumer and industrial products.
