Balchem Corporation (NASDAQ: BCPC) is a U.S. specialty ingredients manufacturer serving nutritional, food, pharmaceutical, animal health, medical device sterilization, plant nutrition, and industrial markets worldwide. The company operates three reportable segments: Human Nutrition and Health (food and beverage systems, vitamin K2, microencapsulation, choline nutrients), Animal Nutrition and Health (microencapsulated ruminant supplements, methylsulfonylmethane, choline chloride, chelated minerals), and Specialty Products (ethylene oxide and propylene oxide for healthcare sterilization and fumigation, chelated minerals for high-value crops). Balchem sells through a direct sales force, independent distributors, and sales agents. As a specialty chemicals company, Balchems business model centers on proprietary encapsulation and chelation technologies used to produce higher-margin functional additives rather than commodity chemicals, with diversified end-market exposure helping to offset demand swings in any single industry. The company was incorporated in 1967 and is headquartered in Montvale, New Jersey.
