It has about 60,000 customers for its 200,000 chemicals, diagnostic reagents, and chromatography products. Small orders from labs (averaging around $300) account for about 75% of sales. The company produces 50% of the chemicals it sells. Focusing on chemicals, Sigma-Aldrich sold its metal business subsidiary, B-Line. Founder Alfred Bader owns about 10% of the company.
