    Much like the Amazon, Braskem is a South American giant, the continent's largest petrochemical company, as a matter of fact. Braskem's chemical plants are located exclusively in Brazil; the company produces olefins like ethylene and propylene that are then used to make polyolefins like polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC. That latter group of chemicals are then used to make all manner of plastic materials and fibers. Braskem also makes aromatics like benzene and intermediate chemicals like caprolactam, which are used to make nylon.  To read the full description, subscribe now.

    Competitive Landscape for Braskem S.A.
    Demand is driven by the health of the US economy because chemicals are used to make a wide variety of industrial and consumer products. The profitability of individual companies is closely tied to efficient operations. Big companies have large economies of scale in production.

The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is more than $500,000. To read the full description, subscribe now.
