At Grace, we are a global leader in specialty chemicals, producing high-performance chemicals and science-based solutions that enable industries to enhance modern life. Our journey began in 1854 when William Russell Grace launched what would become a global enterprise in Peru, eventually incorporating in the United States in 1899. Today, we operate as part of the Standard Industries family, with our global headquarters in Columbia, Maryland, and manufacturing, R&D, and technical services sites spanning North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia.
Our two main divisions - Catalysts Technologies and Materials Technologies - provide innovative products and breakthrough technologies that our customers use to manufacture everyday products like renewable fuels, pharmaceuticals, toothpaste, cosmetics, food packaging, and edible oils. We compete with our chemistry and win with our people, which is why we ensure our handpicked, world-class employees operate in a dynamic culture defined by collaboration, integrity, resilience, innovation, and safety. Our goal is zero injuries and zero process safety events because safety is not just a priority at Grace - it is a value.
