Clariant Appoints Mathias Lütgendorf Member of the Executive 
Committee 
 
Muttenz, March 19, 2009 - Clariant, a world leader in specialty 
chemicals, has appointed Mathias Lütgendorf as a member of its 
Executive Committee, effective April 1, 2009. He will assume 
responsibility for the Textile, Leather and Paper Businesses as well 
as for the company's Asian region. Peter Brandenberg, currently head 
of the Textile, Leather and Paper Chemicals (TLP) Division will 
retire after a highly successful career with Clariant spanning 38 
years including 14 years as a member of the Executive Committee. 
 
At the same time the decision has been made to operationally separate 
the Textile, Leather and Paper Business Units from each other by the 
end of 2009. This move will enable each business to be managed as a 
stand alone unit, providing the operational and strategic flexibility 
required to improve their profitability. The three Business Unit 
heads as well as the heads of Controlling and Production and 
Technology of the current structure will report directly to Mathias 
Lütgendorf. 
Mathias Lütgendorf was member of the Executive Committee of privately 
held textile dyes and chemicals producer DyStar until the end of 
2008, where he was responsible for Global Operations. Prior to this 
he had held several management positions within DyStar and Hoechst. 
He holds a PhD in chemistry from the Rheinisch-Westfälische 
Technische Hochschule Aachen, Germany. 
"I am very pleased with the appointment of Mathias Lütgendorf. He is 
a senior executive from the chemical industry. His skills and 
experience will ensure we navigate our Textile, Leather and Paper 
Businesses through difficult times while at the same time increasing 
our footprint in Asia", commented Clariant's CEO, Hariolf Kottmann. 
"In particular I want to thank Peter Brandenberg for his dedication 
and commitment throughout his lifelong career with our company. He 
successfully assumed many different management functions in four 
continents and leaves a strong impression in our company. Under his 
leadership the TLP Division has made significant progress in 
increasing its competitiveness."
