Digital PDF Filenon-fictionIn January 2008 Akzo Nobel chief Hans Wijers triumphantly signed the US$19.2 billion deal (€11.6 billion) that would seal the end of the 81-year-old Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI). Sixteen years later, ICI’s one-time subsidiary Orica marches on, transforming itself again from its explosives base to a global mining services giant employing 12,500 people, serving customers in over a hundred countries, with more than 62 per cent of sales outside Australia and Asia. Explosives remain the company’s core, accounting for more than 75 per cent of revenues, with copper and gold making up 45 per cent of output.

Negotiations, he said, were very pragmatic because Australia wanted to be on its own and ICI wanted to get out. The covenant was no longer something even the lawyers needed to know about. ICI ultimately failed because of a corporate model that tried to serve too many different products and markets. Orica has stuck to its core, while over the years learning and benefiting from the strengths of its former parentorica, deer park, ici
