Ineos Acrylics renamed Lucite
Ineos Acrylics (GB-Southampton; www.ineosacrylics.com) has changed its name to Lucite International after its best-known brand. Management said the name change will highlight the independent status of the company acquired by Ineos and venture capital partners from ICI in October 1999 and help pave the way for an initial stock offering “within the next several years.” With annual sales of USD 1 bn, Lucite International is world´s largest producer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) feedstock for PMMA sheets sold primarily under the “Perspex” trademark.
