Aarhus Oliefabrik A/S
 PROFILE
Aarhus Oliefabrik knows what's in that chocolate bar -- and in margarine, baby formula, and hand lotion. The 129-year-old company, through its subsidiaries, makes specialty fats, oils, and oleochemicals used by the confectionery, bakery, dairy, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics industries. The company owns about a third of United Plantations Berhad, a Malaysian palm-oil producer. Aarhus Olie's products are used in about 60 countries worldwide. The company has developed alternatives to cocoa butter for making chocolate; these are intended to improve chocolate's heat resistance. Investment company International Plantations and Finance together with United International Enterprises owns nearly half of Aarhus Olie.
