Ingevity Corporation, the leading manufacturer and seller of specialty chemicals and activated carbon materials, is making its mark across the globe. The company operates in North America, the Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and South America, and is divided into two segments: Performance Materials and Performance Chemicals. The Performance Materials segment engineers, manufactures, and sells hardwood-based and chemically activated carbon products that help control gasoline vapor emissions in transportation vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and boats. The segment also produces other activated carbon products used in a variety of applications, including food, water, beverage, and chemical purification. On the other hand, the Performance Chemicals segment comprises three subcategories: pavement technologies, industrial specialties, and engineered polymers. The company manufactures products derived from crude tall oil and lignin extracted from the kraft pulping process, as well as caprolactone monomers and derivatives derived from cyclohexanone and hydrogen peroxide. The segment's products have a vast range of uses, including warm mix paving, pavement preservation, pavement reconstruction and recycling, road striping, oil well service additives, oil production, and downstream applications like adhesives, agrochemical dispersants, lubricants, printing inks, industrial intermediates and oilfield, coatings, resins, elastomers, bioplastics, and medical devices. Founded in 1964, Ingevity Corporation is headquartered in North Charleston, South Carolina, and has continued to stay relevant and flourish in the market by meeting demands for a wide range of industries, leading to sustained growth and expansion.
