Over the decades, the company has grown through organic investment and selective acquisitions, with a strong focus on innovation, sustainability and digital process control. Headed by an experienced executive management team and overseen by a board of directors, Kemira continues to target long‐term value creation by advancing water chemistry solutions that address global challenges in resource scarcity and environmental protection.
