PROFILE |
 |
Like all pioneers, Pioneer Companies is facing tough times -- but in this case the difficulty is higher energy costs. Pioneer makes chlorine, caustic soda, hydrochloric acid, bleach, and sodium chlorate for use in such industries as agriculture, plastics manufacturing, pulp and paper manufacturing, and water treatment. The company's chemicals are also used in products like detergents, medical disinfectants, and pharmaceuticals. The US accounts for more than 70% of Pioneer's sales. Chairman William Berkley controls more than 50% of the company, which is restructuring about $600 million worth of debt. Pioneer has been selling off units and cutting production at some plants.
