Acme-Hardesty

Trusted partner. Sustainable ingredients. Superior solutions.

Acme-Hardesty began more than 80 years ago. As a division of Jacob Stern and Sons, we’re built upon an even longer history of innovation and growth.

Acme-Hardesty is one of the largest distributors of castor oils and derivatives, palm derivatives, preservatives, and surfactants in the United States; however, we are becoming more well known for our Culture of Accountability.

We’ve created a company, rather, a family, that is built upon the premise of respectful relationships and exceeding the expectations of our business partners and stakeholders.

We continue to add new supplier partners and evaluate new products to strengthen our ingredient portfolio. Furthermore, we offer technical expertise and finished formulation prototypes through our Research & Innovation Laboratories.

Acme-Hardesty is always committed to sustainable sourcing while delivering innovative solutions to satisfy our customer’s toughest challenges and business needs.

Yes, Acme-Hardesty provides unique and reliable chemical solutions, however, we are equally invested in our true mission, “Take Care of Families.” Through our sustainable growth we can support more supplier families, more employee families, and even more customer families.

And maybe that’s really what sets us apart. Because for everyone at Acme-Hardesty, it’s about more than simply what we do – it’s about “why” we do it. We are driven by strong cultural beliefs and the simple principles of integrity and respect.
