✦ Synopsis


Dow steers course towards specialities

Dow Chemical is in the process of transforming itself into a speciality chemicals group following the acquisition of Rohm and Haas. It aims to have 69% of its turnover from performance products. Dow is particularly interested in Rohm and Haas' electronic materials and coatings. These two business units had sales of $3.8 bn in 2007. Dow estimates that it will make synergistic savings of at least $800 M over a 2-year period. A new performance product business will be managed from Rohm and Haas' current headquarters in Philadelphia.
