Company Introduction:

CIBA SPECIALTY CHEMICALS was a globally leading company renowned for developing and producing high-value-added chemicals. Its operations in Malaysia, specifically located in Pasir Gudang, Johor, served as a significant manufacturing facility. This plant was dedicated to the production of a wide array of specialty chemicals, which included additives for plastics, coatings, and various industrial applications. These products were engineered to enhance the performance, appearance, and durability of materials and consumer goods across numerous industries. The Malaysian entity was a key manufacturing hub, playing a crucial role in CIBA's global supply chain before the company was acquired by BASF in 2009.
