Solvay Chemicals Limited

The Solvay Group, based in Brussels, broke new records in 2005, when compared with 2004 figures, with sales up by 18% to 8.562 billion and with net income up by a staggering 51% to 816 million. When analysed on a sector by sector basis pharmaceutical sales rose by 30%, chemicals by 14% and plastics by 13%. The sales of speciality polymers grew by 7% despite reported weakness in the automotive and semiconductor markets. [Pg.100]

Solvay further boosted its polymer portfolio in January 2006 with the acquisition of Mississippi Polymer Technologies a start-up company whose main attraction is the PARMAX family of melt-processable, transparent, amorphous, rigid-rod thermoplastics which are claimed to exhibit a unique combination of strength, stiffness and hardness. The chemical resistance of PARMAX is claimed to be comparable with semi-crystalline materials and to be unsurpassed by any other transparent polymer. [Pg.100]

All these considerations illuminate the foresight of Ernest Solvay when he envisaged liquidation after a few decades of his very successful foundation of Chemical Institutes in their original form. There are, of course, other patterns the evolution of international conferences in Chemistry proceeds without interruption. The present is an auspicious occasion. We are about to experience a Solvay pattern in another way, at this first joint conference of the Solvay Institutes with the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. A few carefully selected specialists have been brought together to discuss a quite limited range of topics around a central theme. From past experience of Solvay Conferences, this is a perennial means to achieve success. We may indeed look forward to stirring and fruitful discussions. [Pg.42]
