Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global chemical and specialty materials company, today announced that its previously announced formation of Nutrinova, a Food Ingredients joint venture (JV) with Mitsui & Co., Ltd., is complete. Celanese contributed the assets, technology and employees of its Food Ingredients business while retaining a 30 percent stake in the JV. Mitsui acquired the remaining 70 percent stake at a purchase price of $472.5 million, representing an enterprise valuation of approximately 15 times 2022 EBITDA.
