Galata Chemicals commenced commercial operations on May 1, 2010, but our products and plants have been servicing the needs of our customers for almost 50 years. Both our Taft, Louisiana and Lampertheim, Germany manufacturing facilities began production in the 1960s. Through the years our plants and products had owners including Argus Chemical, GE, Ciba, Witco and Chemtura.

With a strong portfolio of products and brands, superior manufacturing facilities and commitment of our people, Galata Chemicals leverages several strategic differentiators.

• We are deepening our global research and development teams through investments in application new product development which will complement our existing, and support expansion into new, markets.
• We are expanding our global sales team in both established markets, where we can better serve our existing customers, and in emerging economies where we can help these markets during their growth and development phases.
