ACRYLIC ACID, POLYMERS

In 2000, CCP began its second decade of association with our majority partner, Total Composites, Inc. (TCI).Since 1990, CCP has operated as a joint venture with TCI, which itself operates within the chemicals division of TOTAL, a multibillion-dollar oil, gas, refining, chemical, mineral, mining and trading company based in Paris, France.In 1999, TOTAL acquired PetroFina and, in 2000, Elf Aquitaine. Now the leading petrochemicals producer in Europe, TOTAL is one of the largest oil companies in the world with operations in 100 countries.As a result of these mergers, CCP is associated with Cray Valley and Sartomer companies. Together, the three companies rank second worldwide in production of resins, and comprise one of the largest chemical companies in the world. This international association has opened numerous avenues of worldwide exchange for CCP with regard to opportunities through shared technologies and access to new markets.Throughout the past dozen-plus years, CCP has continually strengthened manufacturing and research capacities, product depth, and distribution networks through a series of business arrangements, major capital investments, and acquisitions.
