Perstorp is a specialty chemicals company whose products are used mainly in the aerospace, marine, coatings, chemicals, plastics, engineering and construction industries. The company has two business sectors: speciality chemicals and materials technology. 
Perstorp will focus on growth, both organic and acquired. Internationally competitive production and a distinct responsibility for its core products will be the cornerstones of its action programmes and plans that will generate value growth for the company.
Disregarding acquisitions, Perstorp has set the target level for annual business growth at 10%, with an annual earnings improvement of 15%. Future growth and development areas for the business include biofuels, fuel additives and animal feed additives.
The company foresees increased demand for organic acids used as additives in safety glass to meet increased requirements, as well as other applications. More stringent hygiene requirements in the agriculture and food sectors are also driving demand for its products.
