Dow Jones Description

Innophos, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Innophos Holdings, Inc. (Holdings), is a leading North American producer of specialty phosphates. Many specialty phosphates are application-specific compounds engineered to meet customer performance requirements. Specialty phosphates are often critical to the taste, texture and performance of foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, oral care products and other applications. For example, specialty phosphates act as flavor enhancers in beverages, electrolytes in sports drinks, texture additives in cheeses, leavening agents in baked goods, calcium and phosphorus sources for nutritional supplements, pharmaceutical excipients and cleaning agents in toothpaste. Our products are essential to the performance of our customers end products. In the case of food, beverage and pharmaceutical excipients, our production facilities must comply with the standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, or the U.S. Department of Agriculture, or USDA. We maintain long-standing relationships, most spanning decades, with a number of blue-chip customers. We work closely with these and our other customers to design products that meet application-specific performance and quality requirements. Customers are often reluctant to switch specialty phosphate suppliers due to the low cost of specialty phosphates relative to customers total product cost, and the high functional value of specialty phosphates in customers products. ...
