VENTURE CHEMICALS, INC. was formed in November 1977 for the purpose of commercializing some basic processing technology involving cellulose and lignite derivatives. Initial marketing was directed toward the oil and gas industry where oil and water dispersible colloidal materials are used. Since that time, the company has grown from year to year and today we sell to a variety of industries. Venture Chemicals, Inc. is a highly diversified specialty chemical manufacturing company serving many markets. But as diverse as these product lines are, all have a common thread, our ongoing search for new and improved ideas, both in products and technology.
Corporate headquarters are located in Lafayette, Louisiana. Research and development is located at our primary laboratory facilities in Lafayette. Approximately 40 patents have been issued to VCI and our subsidiaries through our R&D programs. VCI maintains laboratory facilities in Lafayette, Louisiana and Seagraves, Texas. Manufacturing facilities are located in Seagraves, Texas. The company has extensive capabilities for doing a wide variety of chemical processing operations.
As an innovative chemical manufacturer, Venture Chemicals, Inc is dedicated to meeting or exceeding the increasingly strict environmental rules and regulations as required by federal, state, and local governing bodies. The company operates under numerous environmental permits at all of our locations. Venture Chemicals, Inc. is committed to remaining a model chemical manufacturing company with regards to environmental standards.

VCI was acquired by Enterra Corporation (NYSE) in 1981 as part of an oilfield expansion program. In September 1986, Venture Chemicals, Inc. was reacquired from Enterra and remains a privately held corporation today.

Our business today is firmly based on the strengths of our past. And in the years ahead, we will assure our future through a continued dedication to our customers and employees.
