MacDermid Envio Solutions

What MacDermid Envio Solutions does

MacDermid Envio Solutions is a privately held specialty chemical company founded in 1971 and headquartered in Rock Hill, United States. It operates as a focused environmental and industrial wastewater treatment entity within the broader MacDermid brand family of specialty chemical businesses owned by Element Solutions Inc, a publicly traded company on the NYSE (ticker: ESI). The firm describes itself as a designer and developer of industrial wastewater treatment chemistry, with a short description positioning it as an environmental service company in the industrial wastewater treatment segment.

At the parent-brand level, MacDermid is structured as a family of three operating businesses: MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions (chemicals serving the electronics industry from wafer fabrication to device assembly), MacDermid Enthone Industrial Solutions (surface finishing products, services, and equipment including PET recycling and wastewater treatment chemistries), and MacDermid Offshore Solutions (production and drilling control fluids for offshore deep-water drilling). MacDermid Envio Solutions appears to be the entity through which the wastewater treatment and environmental chemistry portion of the Enthone portfolio is delivered, leveraging dynamic chemistries and multi-step technological processes to develop specialty formulations.

The business model is built on B2B specialty chemical sales into multiple industrial verticals (offshore energy, electronics, automotive systems, communications infrastructure, consumer packaging, and industrial surface finishing), with technical service delivered globally through the parent Element Solutions Inc network. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and revenue figures are not available in the supplied source data. The entity's reported headcount of 11-50 employees indicates a focused, specialized operating unit rather than a standalone large enterprise.

Core offering

MacDermid Envio Solutions operates as a family of specialty chemical businesses under Element Solutions Inc, formulating and supplying a broad range of chemistry solutions that enhance manufacturing processes across key industrial segments. The company delivers integrated solutions spanning electronics manufacturing (wafer fabrication through final device assembly), industrial surface finishing (decorative and functional finishes, PET recycling, wastewater treatment chemistries), and offshore energy (water-based hydraulic control fluids for deep-water drilling). Products are developed in multi-step technological processes and paired with comprehensive global technical service.

Product overview

MacDermid operates as a family of specialty chemical businesses under Element Solutions Inc, with three distinct operating units serving different industrial segments. MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions provides chemicals and materials for the electronics manufacturing industry spanning wafer fabrication to final device assembly. MacDermid Enthone Industrial Solutions offers surface finishing chemistries along with PET recycling and wastewater treatment solutions for industrial applications. MacDermid Offshore Solutions delivers environmentally focused drilling and production control fluids for the offshore energy sector. The three units share the MacDermid brand identity but operate as separate business entities targeting distinct markets: electronics, industrial surface finishing, and offshore energy respectively.
