This division operates 53 warehouses across 28 states, primarily in the eastern two-thirds of the United States, utilizing employee-operated delivery routes that combine product delivery with technical expertise and equipment sales and servicing.

The Food and Health Sciences segment processes and distributes specialized ingredients to manufacturers in nutrition, food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural markets. Its diverse product portfolio includes base chemistry, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, excipients, botanicals, sweeteners, enzymes, and food-grade and pharmaceutical salts. This segment operates primarily from facilities in California, New York, Minnesota, and Illinois, serving national and select international markets.

The Industrial Solutions segment provides industrial chemicals and services to manufacturing, chemical processing, electronics, energy, plating, and surface finishing industries. Principal products include acids, alkalis, caustic soda, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and related chemicals distributed through manufacturing locations and terminal operations.
