Carus was founded in 1915 by Dr. Edward Hegeler Carus, who first produced permanganate while at the University of Wisconsin. When World War I in Europe threatened supplies of potassium permanganate in the United States, Carus saw an opportunity. Today, Carus Corporation’s President and CEO, Inga Carus, represents the third generation of the Carus family to manage the corporation. During its more than 97-year history, Carus’ ongoing reliance on research and development, as well as its emphasis on technical support and customer service, has enabled the company to become the world leader in permanganate, manganese, oxidation, catalyst, and blended phosphate technologies. Today, Carus Corporation manufactures a range of products for the municipal and industrial markets with the majority used in environmental applications. Carus Corporation has expanded from its single location in LaSalle, Illinois, USA, to become a global corporation with locations in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Carus recently acquired Alexander Chemical Company and Sierra Chemical Company supporting our growth in our four key markets. Carus plans to further expand and look for additional opportunities to develop new and unique products for the environmental markets.
