The business

Element Solutions Inc (NYSE: ESI) is a leading global specialty chemicals technology company headquartered in Miami Beach, Florida, with operations worldwide. The company's website is www.elementsolutionsinc.com.

Element Solutions develops and supplies a broad range of specialty chemical solutions and material process technologies that enhance the performance of products across multiple high-value industries. The company serves customers in consumer electronics, power electronics, semiconductor fabrication, high-performance computing, communications infrastructure, automotive systems, industrial surface finishing, and offshore energy sectors. As of December 31, 2025, the company employed approximately 5,200 full-time employees, with roughly 80 percent based outside the United States and approximately 40 percent working in research and development, technical service, and technical sales roles.

The company operates through two reportable segments: Electronics, which contributed approximately 70 percent of 2025 net sales of $2.55 billion, and Specialties, which contributed approximately 30 percent. The Electronics segment, formerly known as MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, provides specialty chemicals and material process technologies for printed circuit boards, semiconductor packaging, and electronic assembly through three primary businesses: Assembly Solutions (51 percent of segment sales), Circuitry Solutions (29 percent), and Semiconductor Solutions (20 percent). Key brands include Alpha, Innolot, AccuFlux, Kester, and ViaForm. The Specialties segment, formerly Element Specialties, supplies industrial metal and plastic finishing chemistries and specialized fluids for offshore energy through Industrial Solutions (85 percent of segment sales) and Energy Solutions (12 percent).

Element Solutions maintains an extensive intellectual property portfolio comprising approximately 2,600 domestic and foreign patents. The company's business model emphasizes customer-driven innovation, technical service excellence, and operational efficiency. Recent strategic transactions include the sale of its flexographic printing plate business in February 2025 and acquisitions of EFC Gases & Advanced Materials and Micromax in early 2026. The company has no single customer representing more than 10 percent of consolidated net sales and maintains minimal order backlog due to short cycle times in most businesses.
