Westlake Corp
Glance View
Westlake Corp makes basic materials that end up in everyday products and buildings. Its biggest businesses are chemicals and building products. In chemicals, it produces things like vinyls and polyethylene that other companies turn into pipes, packaging, wire insulation, and many industrial goods. In building products, it sells items such as PVC pipe, fittings, siding, decking, trim, and related materials used in construction and repair. Its customers are mainly other manufacturers, distributors, contractors, and builders rather than everyday shoppers. Westlake sells through long supply chains, so its materials are often one step removed from the final product. It makes money by selling large volumes of commodity and semi-commodity products that are tied to construction, housing, infrastructure, and industrial demand. What makes Westlake's business model different is that it sits in both the chemical and building-materials parts of the value chain. That gives it exposure to raw-material production as well as finished products used on job sites. The company is less about branded consumer goods and more about supplying the materials that other businesses need to make, build, and distribute their own products.
