PQ Corporation

Safety continues with our products, as our silicates make tires safer and improve performance, make concrete stronger while reducing dust by agglomerating powders, and aid in the delivery of safer drinking water by removing heavy metals. We are at the forefront of safety and sustainability. We are a leading global supplier of silicates, silicas and derivative products that serve as environmentally friendly substitutes for materials used in a variety of applications. Both entrepreneurs started with the manufacture of candles and soaps, beginning a two-century story of innovation. Since then we’ve grown to 31 manufacturing facilities throughout the world, manned by over 1,500 employees and generating over $800m in revenue. PQ is a company with deeply ingrained core values. We’re reliable and innovative, and we continue to develop new growth areas such as biofuels and waste recycling products and process aids that reduce our customers’ environmental footprint and greener production of silicate and silicas. PQ is a global leader in silicates and silicas with worldwide reach complemented by strong local presence on five continents.
