Dow chemicals is now a innovation, high-tech company?
That’s right. The olde staunching company now has two-thirds of its products in with intellectual property (IP). Proprietary products are 66% of their products. !
Was 100% petrochemicals (kindof).
Here you can find out about their products: http://www.dow.com/products/
They are creating massive facilities in the USA, taking advantage of the low costs of production here were we are swimming in nat gas (and petro chemicals).
But the really BIG project is in Saudi. The size of the factory is about 1,000 football feilds BIG. With some 60,000 employees at peak construction. Coming onboard this year.
Wow.
They are taking advantage of the US energy boom in a way that no other company can (or does)!:-)
Wow.
They are coming out of an aggressive “activist” investor action and seem pretty good for the wear.
