 PROFILE
It isn't just about red ink or black ink at Dainippon Ink and Chemicals (DIC) -- it's green, blue, and yellow, too. The company's graphic arts unit (about 50% of sales) produces offset, gravure, and news inks, coatings for paper and cans, printing supplies (plates, films), and presses. It also makes imaging products (toners, drums, magnetic foils). Polymers, including synthetic resins, molding compounds, and petrochemical-related products such as polystyrene, account for about 30% of sales. Other products include specialty plastics, construction materials, and biochemicals. International operations account for 52% of DIC's sales. The company is forming a specialty latex joint venture in the US with Dow Chemical.
