Company Description

E. I. du Pont de Nemours wants to cover your house, feed your crops, and coat your car. A top US chemical maker (along with Dow and  ExxonMobil Chemicals), it operates through eight business units. They produce crop protection chemicals and genetically modified seeds, coatings (automotive finishes and coatings), electronic materials (LCDs and sensors), films and resins for packaging and other uses, performance chemicals (fluorine products and white pigments), and safety and security materials (under brand names like Tyvek, Kevlar, and Corian). In the last decade the company slimmed down substantially, exiting the pharmaceutical and fibers businesses, and is now focusing on biotech and safety and protection.
