Celanese Ceases MMA Production at Cangrejera, Mexico Facility
Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global technology and specialty materials company, today announced it has ceased production,
storage and distribution of monomethylamine (MMA) at its Cangrejera, Mexico, acetyl intermediates manufacturing facility. The
production cessation includes both anhydrous and 50 percent solution grades of MMA.
After a strategic business review, Celanese has concluded that production and distribution of MMA are no longer a viable
business option. The site will continue to produce dimethylamine (DMA) and trimethylamine (TMA) with a focus on growing and
expanding the company’s amines business, along with other key acetyl products manufactured at the site.
To support continued growth of the Celanese amines business globally, MMA production equipment at the Cangrejera facility has
been completely converted to produce increased volumes of DMA and TMA exclusively.
