's Comment on Competitors and Industry Peers
There are only a few firms competing with us in the sale of our electronic and
wood treating chemical products. In our industrial lubricants business, we compete
with many other firms. We compete by selling our products at competitive prices
and maintaining a strong commitment to product quality and customer service.
In electronic chemicals in North America, we believe that we have a significant
market share, and our principal competitors include Honeywell, Kanto Corporation
and Avantor (formerly Mallinckrodt Baker). Internationally, we compete in Europe
primarily with BASF, Technic and Honeywell, and in Asia with BASF, Kanto Corporation
and others. We believe our market share in Europe is comparable to our competitors,
and we do not participate materially in the market in Asia outside of Singapore.
In our electronic chemicals business, our customers demand that each of their
suppliers and each product used to make their semiconductors go through a rigorous
qualification process. Once a customer has qualified one or more suppliers and
their products for one of its fabrication facilities, there is often reluctance
to switch to suppliers who are not qualified.
In our industrial lubricants business, competitors include about twenty-five other
businesses that serve the oil and gas storage, pipeline and gas distribution markets,
none of which have a dominant market position. Our principal competitors include
Sealweld Corporation, Flowserve Corporation and JetLube, Inc.
The principal wood preserving chemicals for industrial applications are penta,
creosote and chromated copper arsenate, or CCA. We supply customers in the United
States with penta, but not creosote or CCA. We are the only manufacturer of penta-based
preservatives in North America. Penta is used primarily to treat electric, telephone
and other utility poles, to protect them from insect damage and decay, extending
their useful life by many years. We estimate that approximately two million treated
utility poles are purchased each year by utility companies in the United States.
Of that amount, we estimate approximately 45% are treated with penta. The remaining
poles are treated primarily with creosote or CCA.
*Market share is calculated based on total revenue.
