DuPont is a world leader in science and technology in a range of disciplines, including high-performance materials, synthetic fibers, electronics, specialty chemicals, agriculture and biotechnology. The company operates globally, manufacturing a wide range of products for distribution and sale to many different markets, including the automotive, textile, construction, agricultural, medical, packaging, electronics, and the nutrition and health markets. Total worldwide employment at year-end 2003 was approximately 81,000 people. In 2002, the company strategically realigned its businesses into five market- and technology-focused growth platforms. The growth platforms are: Agriculture & Nutrition; Coatings & Color Technologies; Electronic & Communication Technologies; Performance Materials; and Safety & Protection. These growth platforms are designed to address large, attractive market spaces that allow the company to leverage its science and technology, products and brands, market access, and global reach to bring innovative solutions to meet specific customer needs. A sixth platform, Textiles & Interiors, was also formed to prepare it for separation from the company. On November 17, 2003, the company and Koch Industries, Inc. (Koch) announced that they had reached a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of the net assets related to the Textiles & Interiors segment to subsidiaries of Koch. These net assets and related businesses are referred to as INVISTA. The sale is expected to close during the first half of 2004. The growth platforms, together with Textiles & Interiors and Pharmaceuticals, comprise the company's seven reportable segments. The company's nonaligned and embryonic businesses are grouped under Other. |
