Orgasynth SA
 PROFILE
Chemicals maker Orgasynth proves organic and synthetic chemicals don't have to be mutually exclusive. The company specializes in the synthesis of organic molecular chemicals. Fine chemicals account for about two-thirds of its sales; specialty chemicals make up the balance. Orgasynth sells its chemicals, which include bromine, chlorine gas, hydrochloric acid, and hydrogen peroxide, in both intermediate and finished forms, to the agrochemical, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. France accounts for over 50% of sales. Chairman and CEO Emmanuel Alves, a former executive of Rhône-Poulenc (now Aventis since its merger with Hoechst), and his family control about 80% of Orgasynth.
