Our businesses deliver a broad range of products and solutions to customers in every corner of the globe, serving the transportation, infrastructure, environment and consumer industry sectors.

Our commitment to innovation is driven by a passion to advance our customers' businesses through our deep understanding of their applications and the global trends that impact their operations.
Innovation that drives sustainability
Many of the world’s greatest sustainability challenges are fundamentally chemistry problems. We can convert the mobility sector from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles, but this requires batteries with greater range and lower cost. This is fundamentally a chemistry challenge. We can have a zero-energy building, but this requires high performance insulation, efficient solar panels, and energy storage solutions. Each of these are fundamentally chemistry challenges.
At Cabot, we bring the power of innovative chemistry and a spirit of partnership with our customers to advance solutions that will enable a sustainable future. Our strength in research and development is a major reason why we have been an industry leader for more than 135 years in products such as reinforcing and specialty carbons, battery materials, aerogel, fumed metal oxides, inkjet colorants, masterbatches and conductive compounds.
Our employees around the world are united by our shared purpose: Creating materials that improve daily life and enable a more sustainable future. Through our corporate strategy, “Creating for Tomorrow,” we are focused on our core strengths to lead in performance and sustainability – today and into the future.
