 PROFILE
Tidings of all things chemical come from Yule Catto & Co. The company's specialty chemicals units mix everything from flavor and fragrance additives to cleaning compounds. Subsidiary Synthomer sells disposable gloves and other latex products to medical facilities in Asia and Europe. Another subsidiary, Holliday Chemical Holdings, makes dyes, inks, and pigments for safety gear, paints, and foam. Yule Catto sold its building products business. Malaysian plantation company Kuala Lumpur Kepong owns about 20% of Yule Catto, and descendants of the founder, Lord Catto, who began the company in the 1800s, own a little over 15% of the company.
