  Imperial Chemical Industries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) is a British chemical company, based in London.
Today ICI is simply a medium sized player in the global chemical industry, which is an unfashionable industry with low margins and weak growth prospects.
The company also moved away from bulk and industrial chemicals towards specialty chemicals during the 1990s in the hope making its income less dependent on the business cycle, earning higher profit margins, and developing businesses with long term growth potential.

As well as these, there is a short road that ends at Hutton Village, a tiny settlement built mostly for local mining, agricultural and estate workers.
Until 1964, Guisborough was also served by trains from Middlesbrough; prior to 1958 it was even possible to travel all the way to Whitby and Scarborough along the highly scenic North Yorkshire coast railway.
There are no longer any large employers in the town, Guisborough has become a Dormitory town for nearby Middlesbrough, with many people working in the chemical plants that are located around Teesside.

A class action has been filed against Imperial Chemical Industries PLC (NYSE: ICI) and certain of its officers and directors by stockholders who purchased the company's American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) between August 1, 2002, and March 24, 2003.
That Imperial Chemical Industries' software, distribution and production problems at its Quest division were not "temporary" problems or "unique" to the Naarden, The Netherlands location, but impacted company-wide operations and profitability.
That, contrary to the company's representations that it had cleared its backlog of orders and not lost any customers as a result of the problems at Quest, the company's customers were, in fact, obtaining new sources of supply and discontinuing their relationships with the company.

In July 1990 Kemira Oy (Kemira), a Finnish company, agreed in principle to acquire from Imperial Chemical Industries PLC (ICI) its United Kingdom business in the manufacture and sale of solid and liquid agricultural fertilisers.
Kemira's commitment to the fertiliser industry, coupled with its state ownership, could lead it to take a longer-term view while importers were squeezed by short-term market pressures.
The sale would reduce the number of manufacturers from three to two, holding between them some two-thirds of the market, with other suppliers having small shares, and with little prospect of new entry in manufacturing.
