Our Story

We get it—you’re in the middle of a job search, and most companies are starting to sound the same. Here’s the good news: we’re different.

At 94-years old and counting, we’ve built our success on delivering exceptional service to our customers. But the momentum starts internally—with how we treat and support each other. As a 100% employee-owned company, we thrive in a culture of cooperation and collaboration. Instead of a “not my job” mindset, we embrace a “how can I help?” approach. Because at the end of the day, when the company succeeds, we all succeed.

And by the way, SUPERIOR is a leading provider of industrial chemicals, composite products, and related services. At our core, our success is driven by a commitment to developing flexible, innovative solutions for our customers.
