These are exceptions, however. The world s largest additives producer for plastics, Ciba-Geigy, remains, for its part, at the sole service of its downstream customers and tries not to appear as a competitor. This is also the position of other additive suppliers like American Cyanamid, Ferro, Witco, UniRoyal Chemical in the United States, AKZO, SFOS (Rhone-Poulenc) in Europe, Adeka Argus and Dai-ichi Kogyo Seiyaku (DKS) in Japan.
