PROFILE |
 |
Orica's business is booming. Its acquisition of European and North American explosives operations from Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) makes Orica (formerly ICI Australia) the world's largest supplier of explosives. The company primarily serves the mining, quarrying, and construction industries. In addition, Orica produces industrial and specialty chemicals, agricultural chemicals and fertilizers, mining chemicals, and plastics. Subsidiaries include Selleys (home and car care products) and Dulux (decorative paints). The UK's ICI divested its majority stake in the Australian firm in 1997, spurring the name change to Orica.
