Holiday Greetings Directly from My iPad to Yours :-)
It’s no secret that iPad is one of the hottest gadgets introduced in 2010 (along with android phones!). I broke my cardinal rule this year to not buy first generation anything. I was so intrigued by the iPad) that I had to get one. I have not regretted that decision. It’s not only a cool gadget, it’s a useful business tool. If you are considering productivity improvements for yourself next year, you should put the iPad on your “I should get one” list. The flexibility of the tool is amazing. So with that, I’ll quit talking and wish you a very Happy Holiday season full of everything you want. Enjoy this holiday music from the iBand, played completely on iPads and iPhones!
Petrochemicals – Brazil – Acquisition of DSM to reduce EPDM rubber imports, says Lanxess
The acquisition of Dutch chemical company DSM’s elastomers division by German group Lanxess is expected to increase supply of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber in Brazil and thus reduce the need for imports, Lanxess CEO for Brazil, Marcelo Lacerda, told BNamericas.
“This is very good for the country, as the chemical sector runs a high trade deficit,” the executive said.
Lanxess has agreed to buy DSM Elastomers for 310mn euros (US$411mn), on a cash and debt-free basis.
The acquisition includes a production facility in Triunfo, in Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul state, with an output of 40,000t/y of EPDM, and a plant in Sittard-Geleen, in the Netherlands, with capacity of 160,000t/y.
