Orica Limited has today completed the transfer of the remaining acquired Dyno Nobel businesses in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America.

With the businesses transferred earlier in the year, the transfer today of businesses in some 28 countries successfully completes the acquisition announced in September last year within the time frame previously advised.

Orica MD and CEO, Graeme Liebelt, said that the focus was now on successful integration of the Dyno businesses while maintaining the high level of performance of both organisations in customer service, productivity and SHES (Safety, Health, the Environment, and Security).
