The meaning of business

I broke up the chemical and metallurgical division that Walt had been running and spun out the high-growth plastics business. I put Chuck Carson, who had run our laminates business, over the slower-growing but highly profitable remaining materials businesses.

The excerpt above is from the book Jack: Straight from the Gut. The word "business" has many meanings.

Could you tell me what they mean here? Why does the last sentence use the plural form of "business"?
