Kwindlela yexesha elide yokufikelela kwincopho yekhabhoni kunye nokungathathi cala kwekhabhoni, amashishini eekhemikhali ehlabathi ajongene nemingeni kunye namathuba otshintsho olukhulu, kwaye akhuphe izicwangciso zotshintsho olucwangcisiweyo kunye nohlengahlengiso.
Kumzekelo wamva nje, inkampani enkulu yekhemikhali yaseBelgium uSolvay eneminyaka eli-159 ubudala ibhengeze ukuba iza kwahlulwa ibe ziinkampani ezimbini ezibhaliswe ngokuzimeleyo.
Kutheni kufuneka sahlukane?
USolvay wenze uthotho lweenguqu ezinkulu kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ukusuka ekuthengisweni kweshishini lakhe lezonyango ukuya ekudityanisweni kweRhodia ukuze kudalwe iSolvay entsha kunye nokuthengwa kweCytec. Lo nyaka uzisa isicwangciso samva nje sotshintsho.
Ngomhla we-15 kweyoKwindla, uSolvay wabhengeza ukuba kwisiqingatha sesibini sowama-2023, uza kwahlulwa ube ziinkampani ezimbini ezizimeleyo ezibhalisiweyo, iSpecialtyCo kunye neEssentialCo.
USolvay uthe le ntshukumo ijolise ekuqiniseni izinto eziza kuqala, ukuphucula amathuba okukhula kunye nokubeka isiseko sophuhliso lwexesha elizayo.

USolvay uthe emva kokwahlukana, i-specialtyco iya kuba yinkokeli kwiikhemikhali ezikhethekileyo ezinokukhula ngokukhawuleza; i-Essential co iya kuba yinkokeli kwiikhemikhali ezibalulekileyo ezinezakhono eziqinileyo zokuvelisa imali.
Phantsi kokwahlukanaisicwangciso, izabelo zeenkampani zombini ziya kurhweba kwi-Euronext eBrussels naseParis.
Iyintoni imvelaphi kaSolvay?
ISolvay yasekwa ngo-1863 nguErnest Solvay, ingcali yekhemistri yaseBelgium eyaphuhlisa inkqubo ye-ammonia-soda yokuvelisa i-soda ash kunye namalungu osapho lwakhe. USolvay waseka isityalo se-soda ash eCuye, eBelgium, waza waqalisa ukusebenza ngoJanuwari 1865.
Ngo-1873, i-soda ash eyenziwe yiSolvay Company yaphumelela ibhaso kwiVienna International Exposition, kwaye uMthetho weSolvay uye waziwa lihlabathi ukususela ngoko. Ngo-1900, ama-95% e-soda ash ehlabathini asebenzisa inkqubo yeSolvay.
USolvay wasinda kuzo zombini iimfazwe zehlabathi ngenxa yentsapho yakhe enabaninizabelo kunye neenkqubo zokuvelisa ezikhuselweyo. Ekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1950, iSolvay yayisele itshintshile yaza yaqalisa kwakhona ukwandiswa kwehlabathi.
Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, uSolvay uye waqhuba uhlengahlengiso kunye nokudibanisa kunye nokuthenga ngokulandelelana ukuze akhawulezise ukwanda kwehlabathi.
USolvay uthengise ishishini lakhe leyeza kwi-Abbott Laboratories yase-United States nge-5.2 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ngo-2009 ukuze agxile kwiikhemikhali.
USolvay wathenga inkampani yaseFransi iRhodia ngo-2011, nto leyo eyaqinisa ubukho bayo kwiikhemikhali nakwiplastiki.
USolvay ungene kwicandelo elitsha leemveliso ezidityanisiweyo ngokuthenga kwakhe iCytec nge-$5.5 yeebhiliyoni, ngo-2015, eyona nto inkulu kwimbali yakhe.
