Australia Chemicals 2006 IHS CW Release

September 13, 2006

To most of our readers, Australia is known as the country of kangaroos. Few of those involved in the chemical trade know that Australia boasts a chemical industry with a structure, products and strategies as particular as its fauna. As the industry finds itself in the endgame of transforming from import-substitution to providing high-value added chemicals and services, it looks back on two decades of change – and a challenging future ahead. Reasons enough to have a look at the continent’s rich chemical past, present and future.
