Rohm & Haas rated
most vigorous chemical company in Asia
Rohm & Haas is the most vigorous chemical company in Asia-Pacific,
according to the latest Chemical Business Vitality Index[TM] report
from Fusion Consulting, surpassing its chemical and energy sector
peers with a winning combination of regional presence, revenue performance
and innovation.
BASF ranks equal first with Akzo Nobel in terms of innovation; over
50% of BASF's Asia-Pacific sales are locally produced, thanks to increased
production in the region.
In the relatively niche gases sector, Air Products has benefited
from demand for gases used in semiconductor and LCD production to
become the number one player in the electronics manufacturing powerhouses
of Taiwan and Korea.
Third in the ranking comes specialty chemical company Huntsman, with
the best top-line financial performance in terms of Asia-Pacific share
of global sales and revenue growth in the region. New manufacturing
facilities in Singapore and China, as well as the acquisition of Ciba's
Textile Effects business, have contributed to Huntsman's strategy
of selecting differentiated business opportunities.
