FERTILISERS
IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES.
Interests in Australia and New Zealand of Imperial Chemical Industries Limited have been consolidated in the hands of Imperial Chemical Industries of Australia and New Zealand Ltd., Melbourne. In mentioning that the affairs of this company had been entirely reorganised in the past two years, the chairman of the great parent company, Sir H. McGowan, said at the annual meeting that the former companies of Nobel (Australasia) Ltd., and Brunner Mond and Co. (Australasia), Ltd., dealing respectively with explosives and chemicals, had become subsidiaries of the new company. The English company's interests in fertilisers had become consolidated with those of other Australian manufacturers. Provision had been made for joint development for the manufacture of nitrogenous fertilisers when the demand for them reached a level which would justify domestic manufacture. Similar steps had also been taken to consolidate the various interests in Australia for the manufacture and sale of ammonia for various industrial uses. Imperial Chemical Industries of Australia and New Zealand had earned profits in excess of those of the previous year.
