BTP spends £53.6m on Hexachimie


BTP, the speciality chemicals group, is buying Hexachimie, the fine chemical manufacturing arm of Bristol-Myers Squibb, for £53.6 million.

BTP wants to expand into the drug and agrochemical markets. BTP shares have soared recently after takeover speculation and publicity surrounding the new impotence pill Viagra. BTP supplies an ingredient in the Viagra pill which is made by Pfizer – the pharmaceuticals group.
