Oil-Dri Corp. of America (NYSE: ODC) is a United States-listed specialty materials company focused on mineral-based sorbent products. Founded in 1941 by Nick Jaffee, the business started with a practical mission: provide a clay absorbent to improve workplace safety. Over time, Oil-Dri evolved into a vertically integrated organization with control over mineral reserves, mining and processing assets, product development, manufacturing, and sales/marketing capabilities. The company’s corporate headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois, and it also operates research and development facilities in Vernon Hills, Illinois.([oildri.com](https://www.oildri.com/about/?utm_source=openai))
Oil-Dri’s business model is built around specialty sorbent minerals and related formulations sold into consumer and business-to-business end markets. Its products are used in pet care, animal health and nutrition, fluids purification, agricultural ingredients, sports fields, industrial maintenance, and automotive applications. The company’s mineral portfolio includes calcium bentonite, attapulgite, and diatomaceous shale, which underpins a differentiated offering based on natural resource access, application expertise, and product performance. Oil-Dri operates mining and manufacturing facilities in Georgia, Mississippi, Illinois, and California, plus processing plants in Canada and England, and subsidiaries in Switzerland, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Mexico. That footprint gives the company a meaningful international presence while keeping its core operational base in North America.([oildri.com](https://www.oildri.com/about/?utm_source=openai))
From a competitive standpoint, Oil-Dri is best viewed as a niche industrial materials leader rather than a broad commodity producer. Its moat comes from branded products, specialized formulations, customer relationships, and the difficulty of replicating its mineral sourcing and application know-how. The company serves a mix of retail channels and industrial/B2B customers, which can help balance demand across different cycles. Its products are marketed through multiple channels, including consumer retail, distributors, and direct commercial sales, depending on the end market.([oildri.com](https://www.oildri.com/about/?utm_source=openai))
Recent company updates point to solid operational momentum. Oil-Dri reported its strongest annual financial results in history for fiscal 2025, including record sales in both its Business to Business and Retail & Wholesale groups, alongside higher gross profit and margin expansion. Management highlighted growth in fluids purification, agricultural carriers, and animal health products. In March 2025, the company also announced Jonathan Blake as Vice President, Corporate Controller, underscoring ongoing finance leadership changes. For investors, Oil-Dri is a small-cap U.S. industrial name on the NYSE with a differentiated mineral-based platform, a long operating history, and exposure to relatively resilient specialty end markets.([investors.oildri.com](https://investors.oildri.com/news-releases/news-release-details/oil-dri-delivers-strongest-annual-financial-results-history/?utm_source=openai))
