Voice from our Associates

 

Enshan Sheng

I'm the country manager in China for our Polyurethanes business as well as the marketing manager for the insulation sector of the Polyurethanes business in the region.

 

Based at Minhang, Shanghai, I joined 12 years ago and have benefited from working with Huntsman in Belgium and Italy, assignments which are valuable to understanding our products and business. And, of course, I got to know more people. Huntsman values people development and offers associates a good range of career opportunities.

 

Huntsman can offer a lasting career - as long as you have the right mindset and can deliver. Whatever your function in the company, there are many opportunities - as well as challenges, of course.

I've been with the company for 18 years and am currently based in Singapore, Regional Business Director roles in our Performance Products business.

 

Huntsman is a tremendous employer in encouraging personal contribution and growth with the common aim of business and personal development. Being a global business, it also gives you the opportunity to experience the best the corporate world has to offer but at the same time gives you the chance of maintaining a balance between work and family life.

 

In my view the company can be considered a firm but very fair employer with a culture that rates character values extremely highly. It's easy to recommend it.

I've been with Huntsman for 13 years and am now the Sales Director AHT for North Asia, for our Textile Effects business, located in Shanghai.

 

I particularly like the e-learning opportunities that Huntsman offers in its program of training and development courses. This is one of the advantages of working for a large company.

 

It's not only about size. I would describe Huntsman as a reliable company that pays good salaries and has an interest in the personal development of its associates.

I joined Huntsman Polyurethanes China in 2005 as HR Manager. It has been a memorable four years as I have witnessed the growth of Huntsman in China in many areas. From a system house until today, we also have a trading company as well as the Asia Technical Center. In addition, diversity of people is becoming our distinguished feature here as to generations, countries of origin, religions etc. I have heard such compliments in various occasions from our customers, industry association, suppliers, local community and candidates. This is a company we value EHS, integrity, team work, personal development and most important, we value our associates as our best assets.

I've been with the company for 27 years and know that Huntsman places significant emphasis on personal and human values. This differentiates it from many global and multinational companies. Training enhances the level of competencies in each associate.

My role is the Business Performance Manager for the global commercial unit of Formulated System business of Huntsman Advanced Materials. My main responsibility, to put it in simple words, is to provide support on all finance-related matters for the Formulated System business. I joined the company 20 years ago when the business was part of another Swiss chemical / pharmaceutical company. The business was subsequently acquired by Huntsman a few years ago. Before working in this capacity, I have had various role in different functions including Supply Chain, Product Management, IT, and of course, Finance. This had allowed me to gain exposure to nearly all aspects of running a business. Although I am based in Hong Kong, the business portfolio of Huntsman is so diverse and global that there are lots of opportunities to work together with high-caliber people from different cultural background and of different disciplines. The business is so dynamic that there are exciting challenges everyday.
