• The World's Largest Marketer Of Ethylene Dichloride (EDC). • The World's Largest Producer Of Potassium Hydroxide. • The USA's Largest Producer Of Chrome Chemicals. • The USA's Second Largest Producer Of Sodium Silicates. • The World's Largest Manufacturer Of Chlorinated Isocyanurate Products. • The World's Largest Manufacturer Of Phenolic Molding Compounds. Over the past twelve years we've invested $8.75 billion to maintain and even improve on those leadership positions. That's money spent on acquisitions and expansions. It's money spent on building relationships which benefit our customers and suppliers alike.
OxyChem. Poised for the future. Over the past year, we have formed strategic alliances to better serve our customers, achieve a truly competitive cost structure and establish clearcut market leadership. • We've established 76% ownership in OxyVinyls LP, a new joint venture with The Geon Company that will make us North America's largest producer of PVC and VCM. • We've contributed our petrochemical assets to Equistar Chemicals, LP thereby securing a steady supply of ethylene feedstock for our own future needs while owning about a third of what is now North America's largest olefins producer. • We've formed a joint venture with Aqua Clear Industries to strengthen our swimming pool and spa chemicals business. And that's only the beginning.
A relentless pursuit of customer satisfaction. Dramatic advances in Information Technology have enhanced almost every aspect of the way OxyChem does business. Recently launched electronic procedures-among them electronic data interchange, vendor managed inventory and electronic funds transfer-are already providing tangible benefits to our customers. Innovations like these continue to cut our customers' costs and add to their success. We're creating a future that works for everyone. It's all an instinctive behavior we call commitment.
