no relief, page-13

I agree that there is little coverage, maybe because there is no excitment in this one.

"CHEMICALS maker Orica has declared an eleven per cent rise in annual profit, and expects another rise in fiscal 2009."

Well I can't see how this is going to be possible in this current climate

Orica manufactures and supplies industrial and specialty chemicals.....surely this is going to be effected.
commercial explosives and mining chemicals.... I thought this industry was experiencing a slowdown.
paints....wytall makes paint and is suffering due to building construction slowdown.
and other consumer products sold under brands such as Dulux, Selleys and Cabot's.....yep all effected by the current conditions.
It is the largest chemical company in Australasia and the world's leading supplier of commercial explosives. ORI is growing organically and through acquisitions.
