Founded in 1882, Cabot Corporation operates through two primary business segments: Reinforcement Materials and Performance Chemicals. The Reinforcement Materials segment, which generates the majority of the company's revenue, produces rubber carbon black used extensively as a reinforcing agent in tires and industrial rubber products. The Performance Chemicals segment manufactures specialty carbons, fumed metal oxides, conductive additives, inkjet colorants, and aerogel for high-performance applications. In recent years, Cabot has expanded its focus on battery materials to supply conductive carbon additives for the growing electric vehicle market. The company maintains a strong competitive position through its proprietary manufacturing processes, extensive global supply chain, and regional production capabilities.
