In 2025, Solenis formalized “The Solenis Way.” More than just a set of rhetorical statements, The Solenis Way defines the manner in which we do business and our expectations of one another. It is the foundation of all of our commitments both internally and externally. The Solenis Way underscores our commitment to ethics and values and to strong governance. Perhaps more importantly, it outlines our commitment to our people – to each other as human beings, team members, friends and contributors to Solenis’ success.
With this as our bedrock, Solenis continues on its growth journey, and – with the acquisition of NCH Corporation – each component of our growth strategy builds upon and compounds the value of the other. They are innovation, service, customer-focus and sustainability.
We are committed to continuously working to expand our technology and innovation platform. We will benefit from more than 315 scientists in 24 laboratories around the world. Their focus is to develop solutions as customer needs evolve. Their technical expertise is unsurpassed. While addressing customer challenges, they are also researching opportunities to tackle some of the world’s most pressing problems. These include freshwater access, food contamination, disease prevention and plastics in our landfills and waterways. In a business sense, these issues are also secular tailwinds that present clear opportunities to build growth for Solenis.
Our service capabilities are best in class. And, with NCH, we will have doubled our sales and service scale. This means that we’re providing twice as much attention to our customers. Each customer – large or small – benefits from a team of customer-driven experts with a high degree of technical acumen. This advantage enhances the support we provide to our corporate customers around the world through our corporate account program. We are delivering consistent solutions across geographies while strengthening relationships with global customers. At the same time, we have standardized our processes across functions and leveraged shared services to ensure consistency, efficiency and productivity. Together, these efforts enable us to provide seamless experiences, reinvest in innovation, and deliver a complete offering across every market segment, positioning Solenis as a partner of choice worldwide.
Our growth is reliant on our current customers, and more importantly, our customer dedication. Everything we do is targeted to their satisfaction. We offer a strong, broad line of products delivered as end-to-end solutions. We serve customers in a large, growing addressable market with average growth rates higher than the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Our business model creates a high-quality, loyal customer base – approximately 400,000 customers in 160 countries. And through our ValueAdvantageSM program, Solenis teams can quantify the carbon "handprint" of projects conducted with our customers through the implementation of our solutions.
Throughout our value chain, sustainability fuels our compounded growth. Our customers seek partners to help them reach their sustainability goals, and Solenis is well-positioned to do just that. By keeping people, planet and profitability in the forefront of our minds, our decisions are always made with global interests at heart. What’s more, sustainability contributes to both our organic and inorganic growth efforts. It impacts our customer partnership, research and development; and, plays a role in decisions related to acquisitions.
Solenis is continuing to have a significant, positive impact on the world. In our operations, our focus is on ensuring responsible stewardship of natural resources Sustainability is at the core of our innovation, and we partner with suppliers and customers to enact sustainable solutions throughout the value chain.
Achieving sustainability improvements begins with ensuring and maintaining operational discipline. In the long run, our people are the reason for our long-standing success. Investments in our people help drive sustainable, long-term compounded growth.
