Ingevity Corporation (Ingevity) provides products and technologies that purify, protect, and enhance the world.

The company develops, manufactures, and brings to market solutions that are largely renewably sourced and help customers solve complex problems while making the world more sustainable. The company's products are used in a variety of demanding applications, including adhesives, agrochemicals, asphalt paving, bioplastics, coatings, elastomers, lubricants, pavement markings, publication inks, oil exploration and production and automotive components.

Segments

The company operates in three reporting segments: Performance Materials, Performance Chemicals, and Advanced Polymer Technologies.

Performance Materials segment

The company engineers, manufactures, and sells hardwood-based, chemically activated carbon products which are produced through a highly technical and specialized process primarily for use in gasoline vapor emission control systems in internal combustion engines and hybrid electric vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and boats. To maximize the productivity of the company's manufacturing assets, the company also produces several other activated carbon products for food, water, beverage, and chemical purification applications.

The company's automotive activated carbon products primarily take the form of granules, pellets, and honeycomb 'scrubbers,' which are primarily utilized in vehicle-based gasoline vapor emission control systems to capture gasoline vapors that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere as volatile organic compounds.

Customers

The company sells its automotive technologies products to approximately 60 customers around the globe. In 2023, the company's ten largest customers accounted for approximately 82 percent of sales. The company is the trusted source of these products for many of the world's largest automotive parts manufacturers, including PHINIA Inc. (previously BorgWarner Inc.), A. Kayser Automotive System GmbH, Korea Fuel-Tech Corporation, MAHLE GmbH, and many other large and small component manufacturers throughout the global automotive supply chain. The company's food, water, beverage, and chemical purification products are sold to approximately 50 customers globally. The company sells its products primarily through its own direct sales force in North America, Europe, South America, Asia, and a smaller, focused network of third-party distributors that have established a strong direct sales and marketing presence in North America and China.

Competition

The company's competitor is Norit, Kuraray Co., Ltd.

Performance Chemicals segment

The company's Performance Chemicals segment is consisted of two product lines: road technologies (previously named pavement technologies) and industrial specialties. The company's products are utilized in pavement construction, pavement preservation, pavement reconstruction and recycling, road markings, agrochemical dispersants, paper chemicals, and other diverse industrial uses. The company's application expertise is often called upon by the company's customers to provide unique solutions that maximize resource efficiency. The company has a broad and diverse customer base in this segment.

In 2023, Ingevity began a transformation of the Performance Chemicals' industrial specialties product line. In the spring of 2023, Ingevity ceased the processing of CTO at the Crossett Arkansas facility and converted the facility to the processing of a variety of plant based feedstocks. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2023, Ingevity announced the planned closure of the DeRidder, Louisiana CTO refinery and derivatives operations. Once this transformation is complete, Ingevity's participation in the rosin based adhesive and publication printing ink markets along with emulsifiers for drilling into the oilfield markets will be substantially reduced.

Raw Materials and Production

The company's Performance Chemicals segment serves customers globally from six manufacturing locations in the U.S. Most of the company's industrial specialties and some of its road technologies products are derived from CTO, a co-product produced by softwood kraft pulp processors, such as WestRock Company (WestRock) and Georgia-Pacific LLC ('Georgia-Pacific'). The company also produce products derived from lignin, which is extracted from black liquor, another co-product of softwood kraft pulp processing.

The company typically sources its CTO needs primarily through supply contracts. Most of the company's contracted volumes are sourced through two primary parties: WestRock and Georgia-Pacific. During 2023, the company sourced approximately 82 percent of its CTO from WestRock and Georgia-Pacific combined.

In 2023, the company took further actions to diversify the company's raw materials stream and began a transformation of the Performance Chemicals' industrial specialties product line. In April 2023, the company converted its Crossett, Arkansas CTO facility to run on non-CTO plant-based natural oils, including soy, canola and palm-based oils. The company sells these products, as well as derivatives into end markets for industrial applications. The company has invested in production capability at its Crossett, Arkansas facility as the company expand the commercialization of its product offerings in existing and new markets, which may include the personal care; home and industrial cleaners, as well as the biofuels market. Additionally, in November 2023, the company announced the planned closure of the DeRidder, Louisiana CTO facility.

Markets Served

Road Technologies

The company's road technologies product line produces a broad line of innovative additives and technologies utilized globally in road construction and pavement preservation, including pavement reconstruction and recycling. With the 2022 acquisition of Ozark Materials, LLC and Ozark Logistics, LLC (collectively, 'Ozark Materials'), the company have added road striping technologies to the portfolio.

Road Construction. Evotherm, the company's premier road construction additive, is a warm mix asphalt technology that promotes adhesion by acting as both a liquid antistrip and a warm mix asphalt. Once Evotherm is mixed into the binder utilized for road layer construction, production temperatures can be significantly cooler than conventional hot mix asphalt. Lower production temperatures allow the company's customers to reduce emissions and fuel use during road construction as well as extend their paving seasons into colder months.

Pavement Preservation. The company provides an array of pavement preservation products that eliminate many traditional asphalt heating, mixing, and transportation demands - saving the company's customers time, energy, and money. The company's technical team matches the right emulsifier and design to the company's customers' materials and conditions to create high-performing emulsions. The company offers a full range of specialized cationic, anionic, and amphoteric emulsifiers with additional, custom-formulated specialty additives.

Pavement Reconstruction and Recycling. The company provides an array of pavement reconstruction and recycling additives that reduce the life cycle cost of pavement by enabling the milling and reuse of existing roadways. The company's cold in-place recycling additives allow its customers to reopen existing roadways faster, while also lowering overall costs and jobsite emissions.

Pavement Markings. The company provides alkyd and hydrocarbon premium-based thermoplastic road striping technologies which provide long service life, excellent adhesion, superior color, and retro-reflectivity. Based on the customer and/or governmental agency requirements, the markings can be designed for varying levels of initial and retained performance properties.

Customers
