 PROFILE
It's hard not to be an international company when you're located practically right in the middle of Europe, but for Solvay it's irresistible. With subsidiaries and affiliated companies in about 50 countries, Solvay operates in four sectors: plastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and processing. Its plastic compounds (about one-third of sales) include vinyl and polyethylene products. Its chemicals sector (30% of sales) makes hydrogen peroxide and soda ash (used to make glass). Solvay's pharmaceuticals include gastrointestinal enzymes and antidepressants. The company also processes plastics into fuel and air intake systems for automobiles. Belgian holding company Solvac owns one-fourth of Solvay.
