Hinweis der Redaktion
Created in 1897, this is a company that has gone through more than a century of business. More than 5000 products are distributed across the globe in 160 countries. Dow can rely on 188 sites located in 35 different countries to serve its customers around the world. All of this couldn’t be done without the support of about 50 000 employees. Innovation is one of the most critical piece of the Dow strategy, which invest 1.5 Billion $ in R&D to help bring differentiation to its partners. Dow has achieved a turn over of 53.7 Billions $ in 2010. One of the milestones of Dow’s current transformation to become the leading specialty chemical company has been the acquisition in 2009, of Rohm and Haas, a 15000 employees company, and a leader in his field, especially electronics and water treatment market, to name some few.
2 critical dates : - 2001 : acquisition of Union Carbide, reinforcing significantly Dow Wire & Cable division.
5 operating divisions : Advanced Materials : essentially the heritage of Rohms and Haas for the electronics (like coatings for printed circuit board). Also part of this division, material for building and construction (paints, cement, …) Health and Agricultural Sciences : dedicated to herbicides, insecticide, fungicide an seed technology. A leader in its field. Performance Materials, in which stands Dow Automotive, Dow Oil& Gas, Oxygenated solvents… the new Plastics Performance division, a 14 Billion$ sales division. where stands the Electrical & telecommunications market facing business unit. Besides packaging business unit, Hygiene and health and Elastomeres. Feedstocks and Hydrocarbons
Dow Electrical & telecommunications is the worldwide leading supplier of compounds and resins for the wire & cable industry. With sales of 1.3 billion $ in 2010. Dow E&T core business relies on PE material but Dow has put, during the last 4 years, a lot of emphasis to also diversify from PE and cables only, and address the entire data and energy transmission & distribution value chain. One can quote for instance bio-based oils for transformers, bio-based plasticizers for PVC…among others. Dow E&T has a good knowledge about the Wire and cable industry with its first track record back from the 50’s with its Japanese assets (today called NUC). Dow Wire & Cable is the only trully global wire & cable compound supplier with a balanced asset positioning.
The following map shows that Dow E&T has a production presence that covers the globe with its manufacturing assets in US, Europe and Japan.
