Momentive Specialty Chemicals Inc.SWOT Analysis

Strengths
•    They produce a variety of products such as Chemicals, Silicones, Quartz, Ceramics, Sealants, Adhesives, Epoxy Resins, Phenolic Resins and Forest Products.

•    Hexion Specialty Chemicals, Inc. is now Momentive Specialty Chemicals Inc., a working company of Momentive Performance Materials Holdings LLC, “the new Momentive”.

•     The company has more than 40,000 workers worldwide and has combined sales of $25.3 billion.

•    They came out to sell their first product in the market when there was no other chemical company.

•    They are becoming a global recognized company by opening their research and development centers in different countries. Such as they recently did in India.

Weaknesses
•    The main reason of consumer’s annoyance is that Momentive cannot make out the first rush for the new product in the market.

•    The company knows its likely unprofitable response in the making of new product when some other chemical company is releasing it in the market and there is a wide run to buy more products and in that case no replica will be rented with almost the same rate as for the other products after this quick rush.

•    Clients have now taken this as reality that Momentive just buys a flawed amount of discharges, in order to remain at the back the products of the lesser prices that are fixed than the real price.
