Huntsman Corporation HUN

Company Overview

Huntsman Corporation is a publicly traded global manufacturer of differentiated and specialty chemicals serving a wide range of industrial and consumer end markets. The company operates primarily within the specialty chemicals industry, focusing on products that are formulation-driven rather than commodity-based. Its core offerings support industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, energy, electronics, consumer goods, and industrial manufacturing.

The company’s primary revenue drivers are advanced chemical formulations used in polyurethanes, epoxy systems, and performance chemicals. Huntsman is positioned as a technology-focused producer with strong customer integration, proprietary formulations, and long-standing technical expertise. Founded in 1970 by Jon M. Huntsman Sr., the company initially focused on packaging materials before evolving through acquisitions and internal development into a global specialty chemicals producer. Over time, Huntsman streamlined its portfolio through divestitures and spin-offs, including the separation of its pigments business into Venator Materials in 2017 and the sale of its textile chemicals business in 2023.
