NewMarket Corporation, through its various subsidiaries, operates primarily in the specialty chemicals sector, specializing in the creation and supply of petroleum additives.

The company furnishes an extensive selection of lubricant additives that are vital for optimizing performance across a wide array of automotive and industrial machinery.
