Oil-Dri Corp of America
Ticker: ODCConsumer DiscretionaryMisc. ManufacturingThe business
Oil-Dri Corporation of America (NASDAQ: ODC) operates as a leader in developing, manufacturing, and marketing sorbent products derived from hydrated aluminosilicate minerals, primarily calcium bentonite, attapulgite, and diatomaceous shale. The company surfaces mines its clay near manufacturing facilities in Mississippi, Georgia, Illinois, and California, maintaining proven and probable mineral reserves of approximately 207.6 million tons. The company's website is www.oildri.com.
Oil-Dri operates through two reportable segments: the Retail and Wholesale Products Group and the Business to Business Products Group. The Retail and Wholesale Products Group generates revenue from cat litter products sold under brands including Cat's Pride, Jonny Cat, and private label offerings, as well as industrial and automotive sorbents, sports field products, and crystal cat litter following the May 2024 acquisition of Ultra Pet Company. The Business to Business Products Group serves edible oil processors, renewable diesel refiners, agricultural chemical manufacturers, and animal feed producers with bleaching clays, adsorbent products for fluids purification, agricultural carriers, and animal health and nutrition solutions marketed under the Amlan brand.
As of July 31, 2025, Oil-Dri employed approximately 928 teammates globally, with 893 based in the United States and 35 internationally. The company maintains foreign operations in Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, China, Switzerland, Mexico, and Indonesia. Walmart and its affiliates represent a significant customer, accounting for approximately 19 percent of total net sales.
The company's competitive advantages include vertical integration from mining through manufacturing, an extensive distribution network, strong research and development capabilities centered at the Nick Jaffee Center for Innovation in Illinois, and a portfolio of established brands. Oil-Dri produces both absorbent products that draw liquids into pores and adsorbent products that attract impurities in liquids. The company maintains an ongoing exploration program for additional mineral reserves and operates under policies designed to maintain minimum forty-year reserve supplies at each mining location.
