About Quaker Chemical
From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
Quaker Chemical is based in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania and is incorporated in Pennsylvania. Its shares trade on NYSE under the ticker KWR. The SEC classifies its business as miscellaneous products of petroleum & coal. In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported revenue of $1.89bn and a net loss of $2.5m. At that date it held total assets of $2.80bn and shareholders' equity of $1.37bn.
The majority of the Company’s sales worldwide are made directly through its own employees and its FluidcareTM programs, with the balance sold through distributors and agents. The Company’s employees typically visit the plants of customers regularly, work on site, and through training and experience, identify production needs which can be resolved or otherwise addressed either by utilizing the Company’s existing products or by applying new formulations developed in its laboratories.
As part of the Company’s FluidcareTM business, certain third-party product sales to customers are managed by the Company. Where the Company acts as principal, revenues are recognized on a gross reporting basis at the selling price negotiated with its customers. Where the Company acts as an agent for its customers, revenue is recognized on a net reporting basis at the amount of the administrative fee earned by the Company for ordering the goods. See Note 5, Net Sales and Revenue Recognition, to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
The specialty chemical industry comprises a number of companies similar in size to Quaker Houghton, as well as companies larger and smaller in size. The Company cannot readily determine its precise competitive position in every industry it serves.
