Alllied chemical corporation

Allied Chemical Corporation, one of the conglomerates formed in this period(1901-20), consolidated control over five different companies: General Chemical, Barrett, Solvay Process, Semet-Solvay, and National Aniline and Chemical. Although these firms clearly had different product lines, they operated in related business areas: General Chemical was a combination of 12 producers of sulfuric acid; Barrett sold byproducts of ammonia as well as coal tar products; Solvay Process was the country's largest producer of ash; Semet sold coal tar products; and National Aniline and Chemical Company was the nation's largest seller of dye-stuffs. Consolidated under the single aegis of the Allied Chemical Corporation, these various different production processes united under a single management structure. Thus, Allied was able to exploit the various economics that existed across these production processes and their related marketing activities.
