About OLIN Corp

Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) is a U.S.-based industrial company headquartered in the United States, with its historical roots in East Alton, Illinois. Founded in 1892 as a blasting powder supplier, Olin has evolved into a diversified industrial group spanning basic chemicals, performance materials, and ammunition. For French-speaking investors, the company sits at the crossroads of heavy chemicals and defense/consumer exposure, with a relatively defensive profile in its chemical businesses and a more cyclical profile in Winchester. ([olin.com](https://olin.com/about-olin/?utm_source=openai)) Olin operates through three main segments: Chlor Alkali Products & Vinyls, Olin Epoxy, and Winchester Ammunition. The first is the core industrial engine, manufacturing chlorine, caustic soda, chlorinated intermediates, hydrogen, bleach, hydrochloric acid, and vinyl-related products. The Epoxy segment supplies epoxy resins, formulations, and related solutions used across a broad range of industrial end markets. Winchester is Olin’s iconic ammunition brand, covering small-caliber ammunition for hunting, sport shooting, and select military applications.

Its business model is built on capital-intensive manufacturing assets, vertical integration, and strict cost discipline. This structure allows the company to participate in commodity price cycles in basic chemicals while working to improve Epoxy profitability and manage the volatility of Winchester. Olin describes itself as a leading vertically integrated global manufacturer and distributor of chemical products and a leading U.S. ammunition manufacturer.

The company’s corporate materials also reference regional leadership structures, including Brazil, which underscores the global nature of the business. Its industrial and commercial exposure therefore spans construction, packaging, automotive, energy, defense, and recreational shooting end markets. ([olin.com](https://olin.com/about-olin/locations/?utm_source=openai)) Recent highlights include Olin’s April 2025 completion of the acquisition of AMMO, Inc.’s small-caliber ammunition manufacturing assets, which strengthens Winchester. During 2025, management also highlighted cost-reduction initiatives, capacity actions, and efforts to return Epoxy to profitability, while reporting sequential improvement in the chemicals business in quarterly results. For investors, Olin remains a cyclical industrial name with identifiable operational catalysts, but one that is still exposed to commodity pricing, global demand trends, and execution risk.
