About Olin Corporation (https://www.olin.com)

Olin Corporation is a global producer and supplier of chemical products, serving markets across the United States, Europe, and internationally. The company's operations are divided into three distinct business segments: Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls, Epoxy, and Winchester. The Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls segment provides a comprehensive range of fundamental industrial chemicals. These include chlorine and caustic soda, key vinyl compounds such as ethylene dichloride and vinyl chloride monomers, and various chlorinated organic compounds like methyl chloride, methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and perchloroethylene. This division also supplies essential substances including hydrochloric acid, hydrogen, bleach products, potassium hydroxide, and sodium hypochlorite, alongside chlorinated organic intermediates and solvents, which underpin numerous industrial processes. The Epoxy segment specializes in epoxy materials and their foundational precursors. This encompasses aromatics like acetone, bisphenol, cumene, and phenol, in addition to allyl chloride, epichlorohydrin, and glycerin, which are critical for manufacturers producing polymers, resins, plastics, and for water purification applications. The segment further offers liquid and solid epoxy resins, integral to products such as adhesives, marine applications, protective coatings, composites, and flooring. Moreover, it supplies converted epoxy resins and additives that find utility in electrical laminates, paints, coatings, wind turbine blades, electronics, and diverse construction projects. The Winchester segment is responsible for a broad portfolio of ammunition products. Its offerings span from sporting ammunition—including shotshells, small-caliber centerfire, and rimfire ammunition for hunters, recreational shooters, and law enforcement agencies—to small-caliber military ammunition designed for infantry and mounted weaponry. Additionally, this segment produces industrial products like gauge loads and powder-actuated tool loads, vital for maintenance in the power and concrete industries, as well as for powder-actuated tools in construction. Olin markets its products through its dedicated sales force, directly to industrial clients, mass merchants, retailers, wholesalers, and other distributors. The company also serves the U.S. Government and its primary contractors. Founded in 1892, Olin Corporation's corporate headquarters are located in Clayton, Missouri.
