ANNUAL SURVEY

No recovery in 2002 and few mergers affected the ranking, which C&EN reorganized to reflect the globalized face of U.S. industry

ALEXANDER TULLO, C&EN NORTHEAST NEW BUREAU

C&EN’s annual ranking of U.S chemical makers has gotten a new look. The Top 75 U.S. Chemical Producers ranking has become the Top 50 U.S. Chemical Producers.

This year, C&EN’s list includes U.S.-owned companies only. Foreign-owned companies used to be included in the ranking, but now C&EN runs a separate ranking of the U.S. sales of the top 25 foreign companies.

The ranking was modified to reflect changing times in the chemical industry. By ranking U.S. and foreign-owned companies together, C&EN pitted global sales of U.S. chemical companies against the sales administered by the U.S. headquarters of overseas producers.

Note: Top 50 U.S. Chemical Producers Report is available in Adobe PDF format.
