Kraton Performance Polymers, a leader in the production of engineered polymers, has a rich history that dates back to its origins as part of the Shell Chemical Company. The company was founded by a team of innovative chemists and engineers who were pioneers in the development of styrenic block copolymers, a type of synthetic rubber.
In 2001, Kraton was spun off from Shell and became an independent entity, allowing it to focus on expanding its product offerings and market reach. This strategic move enabled Kraton to innovate and cater to a broader range of industries, including automotive, consumer goods, and medical applications.
A significant milestone in Kraton's journey was its initial public offering (IPO) in 2009, which marked its transition into a publicly traded company. This event provided Kraton with the capital needed to invest in research and development, further solidifying its position as a market leader.
In 2016, Kraton made headlines with its acquisition of Arizona Chemical, a leading producer of pine-based specialty chemicals. This acquisition was a strategic move to diversify Kraton's product portfolio and enhance its capabilities in the specialty chemicals market.
Today, Kraton continues to innovate and adapt to the changing demands of the global market, maintaining its reputation as a pioneer in the polymer industry. The company's journey from a division of Shell to a standalone leader in performance polymers is a testament to its resilience and commitment to innovation.
