Every day, we deliver solutions that improve lives and help customers win.
From pharmaceuticals and sanitation to the growing need for microchips, we deliver chemistry that markedly improves lives.
Our practice of specialty chemistry dates back more than 150 years to our predecessor chemical operations in the Netherlands, Sweden and the U.S. We are dual headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Radnor, Pa., U.S., with key offices in Houston, Gothenburg, Shanghai and Mumbai.
We report in four segments and are organized to serve attractive and growing end-markets across three of our key complementary reporting segments.
Specialty ingredients improving formulations for consumers, crops and human health
We specialize in the formulation of surface, adjuvant, micronutrient and purification chemistry.
Home & Personal Care: Specialty ingredients for everyday cleaning and personal care consumer products
Life Sciences: Chemistries that advance modern medicines and improve crop yields
Critical ingredients that raise the ceiling on what polymers, coatings and composites do
We have expertise in complex chemistries like catalyst activators, initiators, rheology and performance modifiers.
Polymer Specialties: Chemistries that most plastic essentials can’t be made without
Paints & Coatings: Critical ingredients making paints, coatings, roads and buildings last
Chemistry making extraction, separation and production cleaner, safer and efficient
We are experts in the integrated manufacturing of bleaching and process chemicals, and leading performance additives.
