JUST HOW CLOSELY DO WE LISTEN TO OUR CUSTOMERS

---

Funny, at Albemarle we have a way of knowing exactly what our customers are looking for. Maybe that's why we're the world's largest merchant producer of alpha olefins, the world's second largest producer of bromine flame retardants and the largest producer of ibuprofen in North America. When our pharmaceutical customers hit on a formula for ibuprofen that was more efficacious, we were there to manufacture it for them.

JUST HOW CLOSELY

Do We Liaten To O U R C U S T O M E R S ? Please Speak DirectLy Into The Lamp. When our customers in hotter climates talked about a flame retardant for light-colored roofing, we came through with the one they needed. When our Japanese customers mentioned a need for our presence on their side of the ocean, we formed Albemarle Asano in Tokyo. So when you say you need something, anything, from a specialty chemical company, just be sure to enunciate. We'll read you loud and clear.
