The company organizes its operations into three primary divisions: Human Nutrition & Health, Animal Nutrition & Health, and Specialty Products. The Human Nutrition & Health segment primarily serves the food and beverage industry with essential ingredients. Its extensive product portfolio encompasses spray-dried and emulsified powders, extrusion and agglomeration technologies, specialized lipid blends, liquid flavor delivery solutions, various bases for juices, dairy, chocolate, and cereals, alongside ice cream bases and variegates. Additionally, this segment provides microencapsulation technologies for diverse uses, in addition to human-grade choline nutrients and chelated mineral amino acid products vital for health and wellness. The Animal Nutrition & Health segment delivers microencapsulated products designed to boost the health and milk yield of ruminant animals, while also supplying nutrient supplements. It also leverages chelation technology to improve nutrient absorption across a wide range of production and companion animal species, and offers choline chloride, a key nutrient for the health of monogastric animals. The Specialty Products segment is a supplier of ethylene oxide (EtO), primarily utilized for sterilization within the healthcare sector, including single-use canisters for sterilizing reusable medical devices. Furthermore, it markets propylene oxide, a fumigant effective in controlling insects, microbial spoilage, and reducing bacterial and mold contamination in a variety of food products such as nuts (shelled and processed), spices, cacao beans, cocoa powder, and dried fruits like raisins, figs, and prunes. The segment also provides chelated minerals tailored for high-value agricultural crops. Balchem distributes its offerings through a combination of its direct sales force, independent distributors, and dedicated sales agents.
