What We Do
At Kensing, we apply rigorous manufacturing processes to yield a variety of pure, precise, and high-quality products. We are one of the highest-purity producers of plant-based vitamin E and our phytosterols, derived from soybeans, are naturally sourced and up to 98% pure. But, despite our impressive menu of products—each designed to enhance, improve, and optimize your products in a variety of markets and applications—we are never satisfied with the status quo. Innovation is routine, and we are always consistently looking to expand, searching for new opportunities to broaden our reach into new or existing markets. That ambition includes a number of recent acquisitions such as Vitae Naturals, a leading producer of natural Vitamin E in Europe and phytosterol esters for the food, nutrition, and personal care end-markets. It also includes our newest acquisition, Advanced Organic Materials (AOM), a pioneering producer of non-GMO plant-based vitamin E and phytosterols derived from sunflower and rapeseed.
Backed by a collaborative approach, we pride ourselves on producing products that make lives better, our community stronger, and the world a purely better place. It’s why we continue to invest in renewable resources, including the industry’s purest ingredients from natural feedstocks. It’s why we are committed to leading the world in safety. And why sustainable sourcing is at the core of what we do. In fact, we are one of the few companies to achieve a coveted gold medal in the latest Ecovadis Sustainability Ratings, placing us in the top five percentile in our industry. We have also committed to reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG Emissions by more than 40% by 2030 (from a 2022 base year), and to measure and reduce our Scope 3 emissions.
The name Kensing is relatively new to us but what we make and do, and the passion behind our products, have a long heritage. Originally built in 1948 by General Mills Chemical, our manufacturing site spans 310 acres. The facility, which houses the most state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, has a lengthy and venerated history, owned and operated by chemical producers such as Cognis and BASF. After we became our own, standalone company in 2021—still creating the same products for which we were known but with new ownership and new energy—we named our company Kensing due to the facility’s location on Kensington Avenue in Kankakee, IL. We chose the name to honor our community, our team, and our long-ingrained culture, including the commitment to exceptional service and responsiveness for which we’ve long been known.
At Kensing, we are driven to improve the quality of life of every one of our team members, and every one of our customers and their customers. We are committed to delivering high-quality products but are equally passionate about meeting our long-term global goals for the environment safety, employees, and society.
