Business
Quaker Chemical Corporation, operating under the trade name Quaker Houghton, is a global leader in industrial process fluids and specialty chemical solutions primarily serving metalworking, automotive, aerospace, and other advanced manufacturing sectors. The company manufactures and markets an extensive range of products including metalworking fluids, corrosion inhibitors, removal fluids, cleaning fluids, lubricants, die cast mold releases, heat treatment and quenchants, and surface treatment chemicals. It provides these products as well as associated technical services to customers in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia/Pacific regions. Founded in 1918 and headquartered in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, Quaker Chemical generates approximately half of its revenue from the Americas. Recent major developments include the acquisition of Dipsol Chemicals, a Japanese surface treatment chemical manufacturer, finalized in early 2025 for approximately $153 million, along with acquisitions of Natech, a UK-based surface treatment chemicals firm, and Chemical Solutions & Innovations. These acquisitions strategically expand Quaker Houghton's portfolio in surface treatment and plating solutions and extend the company's geographic footprint in Asia and Europe. The firm also launched a digital fluid management platform, enhancing its service offerings. In 2024, Quaker Houghton published a sustainability report highlighting operational improvements such as a 7% reduction in Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and significant waste elimination efforts. Quaker Chemical focuses on the manufacture and sale of specialty fluids and chemical solutions tailored to industrial process applications, with targeted customer segments including steel, aluminum, automotive, aerospace, and specialized metalworking companies. The company maintains a strong technical service model combined with a broad portfolio of high-margin formulations and advanced fluid technologies to support its global industrial customer base. The business generates growth through a combination of organic sales, technical innovation, and strategic acquisitions, maintaining a leading position in the specialty chemical fluids market globally. The company operates worldwide with a strong presence across all major industrial regions.
