The key to making our vision a success is our people. Approximately 2,700 dedicated professionals at more than fifty locations worldwide - including manufacturing facilities, research laboratories, and sales and service offices - extend our global reach by servicing customers with commitment, diligence and in-depth knowledge of their businesses in more than ninety countries.
As a world leader in specialty chemicals, ISP produces a wide variety of products, which have a broad range of applications in such markets as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, hair and skin care, plastics, agriculture, coatings and adhesives. ISP's business is characterized by an emphasis on technology, research and development, marketing and customer service. We value our long-term partnerships with our customers, working closely with them to develop products tailored to their specific needs.
Over the past several years ISP has entered into partnerships with about 30 strategic customers. Typically, our customers and ISP form cross-functional teams to better understand the customer's current and future needs. Outcomes ranging from lower delivered costs to the customer, by optimizing the entire supply chain, to jointly developing better performing products, have been achieved. While many use the customer partnership rhetoric, ISP consistently delivers results through this highly focused and aligned approach to meeting and exceeding customer expectations.
