DOW

Dow Inc. is a global materials science company providing plastics, industrial intermediates, coatings, and silicones used in packaging, infrastructure, consumer goods, and other applications. The company operates through segments including Packaging & Specialty Plastics (polyethylene, ethylene oxide derivatives), Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure (ethylene, propylene, aromatics, polyurethanes), and Performance Materials & Coatings (silicones, coatings, adhesives). Dow serves customers across packaging, construction, automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial markets globally. The company was formed through the 2019 separation of DowDuPont into three companies: Dow (materials), DuPont (specialty products), and Corteva (agriculture). Headquartered in Midland, Michigan, Dow traces its origins to 1897. The company benefits from integrated manufacturing, scale advantages, and essential materials for diverse applications. Dow faces commodity chemical price cyclicality, energy and feedstock cost volatility, competitive global markets, and sustainability pressures on plastics. The company is investing in circular economy solutions, lower-carbon technologies, and sustainable products. Dow continues to optimize operations, pursue growth in specialty materials, and manage through chemical industry cycles.
