What specific production facilities is Celanese closing and relocating in Asia, and where are the capacities being moved?

Celanese is closing its compounding plant in Ulsan, South Korea, and transferring its production capacity to three existing facilities: its plants in Nanjing and Shenzhen in China, and its plant in Silvassa, India. These three sites were selected for their advanced compounding capabilities and proximity to key customer bases.

Which engineering plastics were produced at the Ulsan plant, and what industries do they serve?

The Ulsan plant produced polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide (PA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and high-temperature nylon (HTN) — all engineered plastics used primarily in the automotive, electronics & electrical, and consumer goods sectors.
