Ascent Industries Co.
A maker of specialty chemicals, Ascent Industries Co. produces surfactants, defoamers, flame retardants, and other chemical solutions used in cleaning products, oil and gas, textiles, and water treatment, and also does custom manufacturing for other companies. Its roots go back to 1945, and it operated for decades as Synalloy Corporation before rebranding to Ascent in 2022 — a name chosen to reflect its "upward growth trajectory." The rebrand folded several legacy brands, including DanChem and Manufacturers Chemicals, into a single Ascent Chemicals label.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over all recorded history: -825.3K shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
