Three years ago, Access Industries and Merrill Lynch identified
opportunities in the petrochemical sector to grow Access’ existing
industrial portfolio. Merrill worked with Access to find the
perfect fit in Basell, and structured a successful deal. But
Access’ strategic growth aspirations in the petrochemical
sector didn’t end there. Working together, Merrill and Access
identified Lyondell, and orchestrated the largest petrochemical
M&A transaction in history: an innovative transaction
that created LyondellBasell Industries, the third-largest
independent chemical company in the world. That shows what
the right financial chemistry can do.
