Research & Development

Stepan R&D teams across the world strive to deliver products and technologies that make a difference and meet the emerging needs of our customers and society. Our ambition is to innovate, bring science to sustainability, and turn local insights into global solutions. We do this by creating work environments that emphasize trust and collaboration, foster productive and versatile teams, and by developing excellent leaders.

We invest over $50 million in R&D every year, with teams in Brazil, China, France, Mexico, Poland, Singapore and the United States. This includes investments in new instrumentation and technologies to equip our scientists with the tools they need to solve customer problems.
