Description: AKE Arkema November 05, 2025
Arkema S.A. (NYSE: AKE) is a French-based specialty chemicals group that sells high-performance materials across Europe, North America and Asia. Its operations are organized into three segments: Adhesive Solutions (building-sector sealants, flooring adhesives, automotive and packaging polymers), Advanced Materials & Coating Solutions (acrylic resins, decorative paints, 3D-printing and electronics coatings) and Intermediates (fluorogases, acrylic monomers and other industrial chemicals).
Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue reached €9.2 billion, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 13 % and free cash flow conversion of 85 %. The company’s growth is being driven by rising demand for lightweight polymer solutions in electric-vehicle manufacturing, higher spending on sustainable construction materials in Europe, and expanding applications of fluoropolymers in water-treatment and semiconductor processes. A notable sector driver is the EU’s Green Deal, which is prompting stricter regulations on volatile organic compounds and encouraging the adoption of Arkema’s low-VOC coatings and recycling-focused polymer technologies.
