DuPont to Split into Three Independent Companies

The 220-year-old chemical giant reorganizes to enhance focus and flexibility, appointing Lori Koch as new CEO.

DuPont will divide into three publicly traded entities: electronics, water, and industrials.
The split aims to unlock value for shareholders and allow each company to pursue targeted growth strategies.
Lori Koch will take over as CEO, while current CEO Ed Breen will become executive chairman.
The reorganization follows a trend of large conglomerates breaking up to increase agility.
The separation is expected to be completed within 18 to 24 months.
