Witco Chemical

Witco Chemical Company was a significant American chemical manufacturer with a global reach, producing a diverse portfolio of specialty chemicals, lubricants, and petroleum products.

Regarding Witco Chemical Company in Malaysia, it is crucial to understand that Witco Corporation was acquired by Crompton & Knowles in 1999. This entity later became Chemtura Corporation, which in turn was acquired by LANXESS in 2017. Consequently, an independent company named Witco Chemical Company is no longer operational today.

If Witco Chemical Company maintained a presence in Malaysia during its active years, it would predominantly have functioned as a manufacturing facility (a factory) or as a regional sales and distribution arm for its manufactured goods. Given Witco's core business as a major producer of chemicals, any substantial operation in Malaysia would most likely have involved production capabilities to serve the local and regional markets, rather than solely operating as a trader of chemicals sourced from other manufacturers.

"Witco Chemical Malaysia" as an independent entity does not currently produce or sell products. Witco Corporation was acquired by Crompton & Knowles Corporation in 1999, and its product lines and operations have since been integrated into successor companies such as Lanxess and Crompton Corporation.

Historically, the types of products Witco Chemical manufactured and sold globally, which would have been relevant to any Malaysian operations, included:

Lubricant additives, oleochemicals and derivatives, polymer additives (such as plasticizers and stabilizers), urethane chemicals, petroleum specialties (like white oils and petrolatums), surfactants and specialty detergents, resins and industrial coatings, consumer care ingredients, and components for adhesives and sealants.
