| | Kemira Oyj |
 | | Kemira's status as a state-owned company restricted it from turning to the stock market for capital; instead, the company was forced to turn to banks to finance its expansion. |
 | | During this period, Kemira emerged as a world leader in water treatment chemicals, with the 1992 acquisition of Ferriklor AB of Sweden, and the creation of joint ventures in Romania, The Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic in 1994, Thailand in 1995, and Brazil in 1996. |
 | | Kemira launched a new strategic review at the end of the 1990s and in 1999 announced its decision to refocus itself around three core businesses—pulp and paper chemicals, paints and pigments, and water treatment chemicals. |
