DOW Company Overview

Dow Inc. is a U.S.-based materials science company that manufactures a broad range of chemicals, plastics, industrial intermediates, and specialty materials used across packaging, infrastructure, mobility, consumer care, electronics, and agricultural markets. The company operates primarily in the global chemicals and advanced materials industries, with revenue driven by polyethylene, silicones, performance materials, coatings, industrial intermediates, and packaging-related products. Dow serves customers including manufacturers, consumer goods companies, construction firms, automotive suppliers, electronics producers, and industrial processors across both developed and emerging markets.

Dow traces its origins to The Dow Chemical Company, founded in 1897 by Herbert Henry Dow in Midland, Michigan. The current Dow Inc. structure was formed following the merger of Dow Chemical and DuPont in 2017 and the subsequent separation of the combined entity into three independent publicly traded companies in 2019. Dow Inc. emerged as the materials science-focused successor, emphasizing scale in commodity and specialty chemicals, vertically integrated feedstock assets, and global manufacturing capabilities. Its strategic positioning is supported by large-scale production infrastructure, proprietary process technologies, integrated supply chains, and extensive international distribution networks.
