FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Buyout group SK Capital has put Swiss chemicals company Archroma up for sale in a move that could potentially fetch 1.5 billion Swiss francs ($1.5 billion), people close to the matter said.
The investor has asked Evercore (N:EVR) and HSBC (L:HSBA) to find a buyer for a minority or majority stake in the company which it acquired from Switzerland's Clariant (S:CLN) in 2013.
SK Capital and HSBC declined to comment, while Evercore was not immediately available for comment.
