Product Stewardship Plan

At Stepan Company, expertise in chemical manufacturing and global reach are driving factors in our long-term relationships with customers. Customers want a supplier capable of meeting their global requirements, and we want to deliver timely and cost-effective chemical manufacturing solutions to the world’s fastest-growing markets.  With the manufacturing facilities and capabilities to deliver more than 1 million metric tons in surfactant products and over 400,000 metric tons in polymer products around the world, Stepan is positioned to support customers' needs successfully.

Core Manufacturing Technologies

Our global chemical manufacturing capabilities include:

  • Sulfonation, neutralization and blends
  • Esterification
  • Amidation
  • Quaternization
  • Alkoxylation
  • Oxidation

Global Coverage

In 2011, Stepan made two strategic acquisitions in both Asia and Central Europe. To help grow our surfactants franchise in Asia, we acquired a 100,000 ton-per-year methyl ester plant in Singapore, expected to become a global chemical manufacturing hub for the Asia-Pacific region. We also purchased a state-of-the-art polyol chemical manufacturing facility in Brez Dolny, Poland, with 25,000 metric tons of blending capacity. We have also increased our capacity around the world by optimizing and streamlining our processes. Our neutralization capacity in Brazil, increased ownership (now 100%) in the Philippines and our larger polyol plant in Germany will make Stepan a stronger global provider for a multinational customer base.
