If you want to paint the town red, it's a "Dunn" deal. From two manufacturing facilities in California and Arizona, Dunn-Edwards makes numerous paints and coatings, as well as paint-related products ranging from ladders to spray equipment.

Among the places coated with Dunn-Edwards paint are the Staples Center and Mann's Chinese Theater in Los Angeles and Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

Dynaction isn't the newest Saturday morning cartoon show -- it's a maker of fine and specialty chemicals through its 70% holding in Produits Chimiques Auxiliaires et de Synth賥 (PCAS). Its products are made for the pharmaceutical sector, primarily, as well as for makers of personal care and fragrance products. More than half of the company's sales are generated outside France. It previously had made power transmissions for heavy industrial use (through subsidiary CMD Engrenages et R餵cteurs) and had other non-chemical businesses, but Dynaction sold off the businesses from 2004-06 and now operates almost entirely through PCAS. Company chairman Christian Moretti holds about 15% of Dynaction.

It's not overly touch-feely, but Dynea can be considered an expert on bonding. The company's primary products are resins for adhesives, most of which are used as a bonding agent in the manufacture of particle board, plywood, and oriented strand board (OSB). Its adhesives also are used in wood veneers, kitchen cabinets, furniture, and structural wood products such as joists. Dynea also produces resins used in industrial and decorative paper overlays. The company sells mainly to customers in Europe and Asia. It operates 40 manufacturing facilities in more than 20 countries. Two funds controlled by investment firm Industri Kapital control 90% of Dynea.
