Mistaken Identity. It was this quality of light that enabled Thoré-Bürger to bring recognition to Vermeer's art where others had failed.

Last year it bought land in Antwerp for a $50 million factory that will produce fertilizer and synthetic fibers, and moved into Mexico by acquiring a local chemical firm. In the U.S., the company's biggest foreign customer, B.A.S.F...
