Globalization: Examples in Engineering

Chemical Engineering

The Celanese plant contains state of the art technology and produces 600,000 t/y of Acetic acid to meet demand in China (Curwin, 2011). The demand in China is expected to grow at a rate of 10% per year. Celanese is a global hybrid company. Although not required by Chinese law, Celanese promises to implement the "same high standards for environment, health and safety" as it would in any other location in the world.
