Description of Business


Primary SIC Code: 2800
(As filed with the SEC)  

We manufacture, formulate and globally distribute specialty chemicals. We grow primarily by purchasing product lines and businesses that operate in segments of the specialty chemical industry that: . provide an opportunity to obtain a significant share of the market segment through further acquisitions and organic growth; . are of a size that larger industry participants generally find too small to be attractive; . have niche products with well established and proven commercial uses; . offer products that have moved well beyond their discovery phase and into their consolidation phase and require little or no on-going research and development expenditures; and . have significant barriers to entry.  ...
