Supplying Extra Value

Emerald Kalama is a leading global manufacturer of specialty materials such as benzoic acid, benzaldehyde, and downstream chemistries, with a focus on flavor and fragrance ingredients, non-phthalate plasticizers, antimicrobials, synthesis intermediates, and rubber additives.

However, we offer more than backward integrated, world-scale production; we help our customers to create value by using our market-focused expertise, a portfolio of innovative material solutions, and brands that are trusted around the world.
