There had been so many M&As and spin-offs in the chemical industry that it is hard to keep track of them. However, I am particularly interested in these two companies, the new Nouryon\u00a0(formerly AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals) and the new DuPont\u00a0as these two have been proactive in the renewable chemicals market.<\/p>\n
Nouryon was launched following the recent acquisition of the business by The Carlyle Group and marks the company\u2019s transition to becoming an independent, global specialty chemicals company. According to AkzoNobel,\u00a0Nouryon has a history that stretches back nearly 400 years and its new name and brand identity reflect that heritage. Here\u2019s a video of their re-introduction to the chemicals world:<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Dupont unveiled its redesigned global brand identity and logo after DowDuPont\u2019s Specialty Products Division became an independent company in June, and now carries the DuPont name.\u00a0Some examples of DuPont\u2019s best-known product brands include Kevlar\u00ae<\/sup> fiber, Tyvek\u00ae<\/sup> high-performance materials, Sorona\u00ae<\/sup> renewably sourced fiber and Danisco\u00ae<\/sup> food ingredients; and the new DuPont portfolio includes Great Stuff\u2122 insulating foam sealant.<\/p>\n We are definitely looking forward to more innovation and sustainability developments from these two companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There had been so many M&As and spin-offs in the chemical industry that it is hard to keep track of them.
