合并完成后,杜邦将以更敏锐的战略重点向前推进,并正在对其报告结构进行某些有针对性的调整。自2021年2月1日起,杜邦将有三个业务报告部门:电子与工业、移动与材料和水与保护。每一家公司都将拥有市场领先的企业,拥有深厚的专业知识、差异化的产品和技术,以及赢得客户、超越同行、为股东带来价值的必要能力。

杜邦执行董事长兼首席执行官埃德·布林表示:“我们进入2021年将处于强势地位。今天的杜邦是一家领先的多行业公司,通过选择性和有针对性的并购来推动有机增长和扩展我们的业务。我们拥有正确的业务、产品和结构,以满足客户的需求,并充分利用我们所选择的终端市场的显著增长趋势。我们的新结构结合了具有共同财务特征的业务,使整个公司的视野更加清晰,资源配置更加有效。每一家公司都有有意义的增长前景,其管理团队懂得如何最佳地执行其优先事项,并为股东带来利益。”

杜邦还宣布,已完成对非核心业务的战略评估。与此相关,该公司宣布已与一家国际私募股权财团达成最终协议,以5.1亿美元出售杜邦清洁技术业务。该交易预计将在2021年第二季度完成,取决于惯例的成交条件和监管部门的批准。此外,杜邦还认为,它在推动Tedlar®、Microcircuit Materials和DuPont Teijin Films合资企业的价值方面处于最佳位置,并将这些业务重新调整为Mobility & Materials。随着宣布的与生物材料和清洁技术相关的协议,从2021年2月1日起,杜邦将解散其非核心报告部门。

布林接着说:“我向我们的员工致敬,他们在漫长的过渡期和持续不断的疫情挑战中表现出了决心。他们对我们核心价值观的重视,以及对客户和彼此的支持,帮助我们奠定了今天的坚实基础,随着全球经济走向复苏,我们将保持增长。”
