Within the High-Performance Materials (HPM) sector, Ceramics, Plastics & Abrasives reported 4.5% organic growth on the back of healthy capital expenditure and industrial output worldwide. Organic growth for the sector as a whole came in at 2.2% given the 4.2% downturn in the Reinforcements business, a significant part of which was sold to Owens Corning on November 1, 2007. The sector's operating margin improved significantly, up to 12.3% versus 10.1% in 2006.

The art of ceramics is one of the oldest known, dating to prehistoric times. Clay is a special kind of earth, found all over the world that is easily worked when moist, but can be hardened and made waterproof by exposure to heat. The earliest forms of construction were pinched-- that is, the clay is formed with the fingers to the desired shape.
"In an industry of innovators, we are honored to have been recognized as the best of the best on an international level," said Taylor Adair, president and CEO of Lamina Ceramics. "We've had a banner year, setting two world records for the brightest LED arrays ever built, and hope to continue to elevate the state of the art in the solid state lighting field."
Today’s advanced ceramics bear little resemblance to their origins. They offer unique and amazingly powerful physical, thermal and electrical properties that have opened up a whole new world of development opportunities for manufacturers in a wide range of industries.
