Chemical reactions are gaining momentum

摘要

Pulp and paper chemical producers and their clients are undergoing the same structural turmoil. What happened first was that the Swiss company Ciba snatched Raisio's paper chemicals from under Kemira's nose. Now the German BASF has bought Ciba in its entirety. The two companies are currently clarifying, until the beginning of July, how to build a unified new business from their existing operations.rnAt the moment, only two things are certain: reorganisation is a must and no one knows what will be the result of the on-going clarifications. This means that the merging companies' representatives refuse to utter one word on the current scenario.
