PROFILE |
 |
It's up, up, and away for The BOC Group (or is it?). The world's #2 producer of industrial and specialty gases was to be acquired and split up by France's L'Air Liquide (#1 in the world) and US-based Air Products and Chemicals, but the deal fell through. Still on its own, BOC's gas operations -- which includes the design, manufacture, and installation of plants that produce oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and other gases used to make iron, steel, aluminum, and other products -- account for more than 80% of sales. BOC also makes vacuum pumps for the microchip industry and distributes consumer goods such as food and clothing for Marks & Spencer stores in the UK and other countries.
