Vantage Specialty Chemicals, Inc. is an American speciality chemicals company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Vantage operates through four business units: Personal Care, Performance Materials, Oleochemicals, and Foods.[1]
Its Personal Care unit provides chemical ingredients for hair, skin, sun care and other cosmetic products.[2][3] Vantage Performance Materials produces chemicals with applications in oil and gas, food production, lubricants, precision cleaning and other industry specialties.[4] Vantage is one of the largest oleochemical producers in the United States.[5]
Vantage was formed in 2008 when private equity (PE) firm H.I.G. Capital acquired Uniqema's operations in the United States from Croda International.[6] Uniqema was a global oleochemical manufacturer which was acquired by Croda from Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) in 2006.[7] Under H.I.G.'s ownership, Vantage expanded through a series of acquisitions, including Lambent Technologies in 2008 (which became Vantage's Performance Materials unit) and Lipo Chemicals in 2010 (which became the Personal Care unit).[6][8] H.I.G. then sold Vantage to mid-market PE firm The Jordan Company in 2012.[6][8]
In 2016, Vantage acquired baking products maker Mallet & Co., which became the company's Foods unit.[9]
H.I.G. re-acquired majority ownership in Vantage in 2017 via a leveraged buy-out, with Jordan retaining a minority stake.[10][11][12] The transaction is expected to close in October 2017.[11]
