Koch Industries is the real thing when there's money to be made. Koch (pronounced "coke") is the second-largest private US company, after Cargill. Koch Industries' operations (through its numerous subsidiaries) include asphalt, chemicals, energy, fertilizers, fibers and intermediates, finance, minerals, petroleum, pulp and paper, ranching, securities, and trading. A subsidiary owns three refineries that can process about 787,000 barrels of crude oil daily. Koch subsidiaries also process natural gas liquids, and operate gas gathering systems and pipelines across North America. Brothers Charles and David Koch control the company, which in 2004 acquired INVISTA for $4.2 billion and merged it with its KoSa unit.
