What Albemarle Corporation does

In the company’s own words

Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB) develops and manufactures lithium compounds, specialty chemicals and catalysts for customers in markets including energy storage, automotive, electronics, health, agriculture and oil refining. Its Energy Storage segment produces lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide and lithium chloride for batteries, grid storage, consumer electronics, greases and specialty glass. Specialties supplies bromine and specialized lithium products, including fire-safety compounds, pharmaceutical precursors, organolithium products and cesium and other specialty chemicals; it also provides technical and recycling services. Ketjen makes refining catalysts and additives, as well as organometallic co-catalysts and curing agents for plastics, electronics and engineered resins. In 2025, the company managed these three reportable segments; it has agreed to divest the controlling interest in Ketjen’s Refining Solutions business while retaining its PCS business and a 49% interest in the associated joint venture. Albemarle served approximately 1,900 customers in about 70 countries and had approximately 7,800 employees as of December 31, 2025. Its website is www.albemarle.com.
