#1 The company is among the world's largest chemical manufacturers and a major salt producer. Akzo Nobel divides its business into two lines. Its coatings group makes decorative paints, automotive finishes, and industrial coatings. The chemical unit makes pulp and paper chemicals, functional chemicals (flame retardants, crop nutrients), surfactants, and catalysts. A third unit, pharmaceuticals, produced contraceptives, fertility treatments, antidepressants, OTC drugs, and veterinary medicines. Akzo sold the division, called Organon, to Schering-Plough for $14 billion in 2007, the same year it agreed to buy ICI for $16 billion.
