Hoover's coverage by Mark Richardson

Overview

Specialty chemical company Cognis prides itself on being aware of the chemical marketplace. The company -- whose name is derived from the Latin cognoscere, "to know or perceive" -- operates through three business units: Care Chemicals, Nutrition and Health, and Functional Products. Among Cognis' products are environmentally friendly inks and coatings, synthetic lubricants, oilfield chemicals, fatty acids, and dietary supplements. Once a subsidiary of chemicals giant Henkel and then an investment group led by Permira and Goldman Sachs, Cognis was acquired by German chemical giant BASF SE in late 2010.
