據道瓊斯巴黎10月7日消息，道達爾公司已同意以32億美元將一項特殊化學品業務出售給投資公司凱雷投資集團，這是這家法國石油巨頭在面對油價大跌時進行縮減資本并籌集現金的一部分舉措。

　　道達爾稱，本次Atotech BV的交易價格是這家子公司2015年未計利息、稅項、折舊及攤銷前利潤(EBITDA)的11.9倍。Atotech BV是一家電鍍化學品供應商。

　　Atotech有4,000名員工，主要分布于德國和中國。

　　道達爾退出該化學品業務是其重組計劃的一部分，該公司在2014年已同意出售粘合劑公司Bostik。

Total Sells Chemical Unit Atotech to Carlyle for $3.2 Billion

By Inti Landauro and Matthew Curtin

PARIS--Total SA (TOT) has agreed to sell a specialty chemicals business to investment firm The Carlyle Group for $3.2 billion, part of the French oil majors efforts to slim down and raise cash in the face of a slump in oil prices.

The companies said the transaction values Atotech BV, a supplier of plating chemicals, at 11.9 times the units adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in 2015.

Atotech has a staff of 4,000, based mainly in Germany and China.

Total is exiting the chemicals business as part of its restructuring plan, having agreed to sell adhesives unit Bostik in 2014.
