Acme-Hardesty began more than 75 years ago. As a division of Jacob Stern and Sons, we’re built upon an even longer history of ... innovation and growth. Today we’ve evolved into one of the largest distributors of castor oils and derivatives, oleochemicals, preservatives and bio-based products. Sustainability is a fundamental part of our business. At Acme-Hardesty, we're guided by the belief that what we do makes a difference - to each other, our customers, and to the future of the world in which we live - a position we're unlikely to reconsider anytime soon.

It's about doing business responsibly and ethically, in a way that maintains a balance of mutual benefit for all stakeholders and respect for the planet. read more
