Arkema (AKE.FR) said Monday that it plans to sell its functional polyolefins business to SK Global Chemical, valuing the division at 335 million euros ($369.6 million).
The French chemical company said the divestment of the business, which produces chemicals used in sectors such as food packaging, is part of its move towards a focus on specialty chemicals and advanced materials.
SK Global Chemical, which will create a French holding company for the takeover, is a subsidiary of South Korean conglomerate SK Group, Arkema said.
The divestment is subject the approval of antitrust authorities as well as a consultation process with the company's employee representative bodies and is expected to close in the second quarter next year, it said.
