About Us:

Ascend Performance Materials is the premium provider of high-quality chemicals, fibers, and plastics. With world-scale integrated manufacturing facilities, we are able to develop new products from our core technologies and provide flexibility to respond to the expanding needs of our customers.

We are a privately-held company, and our people do big things and make big decisions, often much earlier in their careers than at larger companies. Ascend Performance Materials offers team members the opportunity to contribute in big, meaningful ways—all within a stable and growing business.

We care about our employees, our customers, and our communities. Our Total Rewards Program extends beyond traditional benefits to include access to on-site medical clinics at our facilities, a global wellness rewards program, and Performance Matters, an employee-driven recognition plan.

We exist for our customers; they drive our actions. Our plastics and chemicals are building blocks that help make everyday essentials safer and more sustainable, and we constantly strive to develop new and innovative products to meet the future needs of our customers.

We invest in our people and our processes to improve every day. A2E, our continuous improvement program, guides the way we do business. And this way of problem-solving applies not only to our manufacturing practices but also to our commitment to developing our people.

We think broadly and lead proactively in a constantly evolving organization and industry. Agility doesn't mean simply working quickly – it means critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and novel approaches to everyday challenges.

We don't accept silos. We look for ways to share across departments, sites, and geography. This means you won't be boxed into a single role at Ascend – you could get the chance to work with teams across the globe to improve the way we serve our people, our customers, and our communities.
