PROFILE |
 |
W. R. Grace & Co. has embraced Thoreau's call to simplify. After restructuring from six product groups into two major segments, the company has filed for bankruptcy protection due to an unexpected increase in asbestos litigation (injury claims nearly doubled in 2000), although the company no longer makes such products. Each business segment accounts for about half of sales. Its performance chemicals segment makes construction chemicals, container products, and building materials. Its Davison Chemicals segment makes silica-based products, chemical catalysts, and refining catalysts that help produce refined products from crude oil. Grace's customers include chemicals companies, oil refiners, and construction firms.
