A leading specialty ingredients company

Looking ahead to the next century of innovation

Croda’s 100-year milestone is a celebration of how far we have come over the past century, what we have achieved and the impact we have had. But Croda’s growth during this century of success has been grounded in our ability to look forwards – to recognise the emerging trends that are shaping our core markets, and to think innovatively about how to embrace them. So, during this centenary year, it is as important to take stock of where we are and where we are headed, as it is to recognise where we came from.

The coming 25 years are set to see significant shifts in consumer care, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture – the main markets that we serve. Driven by the rise of artificial intelligence, the demand for sustainable ingredients and advances in biologics and biotechnology, the specialty chemicals industry will undergo a transformation that will fundamentally alter how we develop, manufacture and supply chemical ingredients. We are clear about our role in that transformation and recognise that it will require us to embrace innovation and collaboration more than ever before, adapting our thinking, cultures and approaches.

Our outstanding people will continue to drive the positive impact we have. The successes of the past, the progress being made in the present, and our potential for the future, all stem from the incredible intellect, passion and dedication of individuals who have made this company what it is today and who will determine its future.
