Company Description

Don't worry, teachers: CP Kelco brought enough gum for the entire class. The company's products, derived from renewable, natural raw materials, include carrageenan, gellan gum, xanthan gum, and microparticulated whey protein. A subsidiary of J. M. Huber, the company manufactures specialty hydrocolloids (which produce gels). The additives are used in food, industrial, personal care, and pharmaceutical products -- everything from jam and ketchup to paint and cosmetics -- to give the desired texture, viscosity, and stability. Other markets include pulp and paper (which uses cellulose derivatives) and oilfield drilling (additives for drilling fluids). CP Kelco operates manufacturing facilities worldwide.
