DuPont to merge with Dow? Divisions to split?

DuPont to merge with Dow? Divisions to split?
DuPont owner of Danisco’s probiotics, enzymes, sweeteners, colours and flavours business, along with the Solae soy brand - is set to merge with Dow Chemicals to become the world’s second biggest chemicals firm after €80bn BASF.

If the deal goes through the new €75bn global entity could be split in three: agricultural chemicals, specialty products, and materials – according to press reports.

Shares in both firms have risen as a result of the proposal. Both companies have refused to comment on the speculation.

DuPont paid $6.3 bn (€5.75bn) for Danisco in 2011.

The US-based giant took full control of Solae from its partner Bunge in 2012.
