The company has a diverse business portfolio with different value propositions, with respect to the markets served.

Ashland, in August 2019, completed the divestiture of its Composites unit and the butanediol (BDO) manufacturing facility in Marl, Germany, to London-based INEOS Enterprises in a deal worth around $1 billion.

The segments are Life Sciences, Personal Care and Household, Specialty Additives and Intermediates & Solvent.
