KOST USA

Founded in 1985, KOST USA, a Recochem company, is one of the largest manufacturers, suppliers, and marketers of antifreeze and functional fluids serving brands you know and trust. We are headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. We build both our customers and our own brands through high-performance products and superior service, primarily in the automotive & heavy-duty aftermarket, as well as in the Oil & Gas sector.

The company's product range includes antifreeze and coolants, plumbing waterline antifreeze, stationary engine coolants, fire-resistant hydraulic fluids, heat transfer fluids, natural gas dehydration fluids, and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). KOST USA operates a 110,000-square-foot production facility and has blending and packaging capabilities in selected markets across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Its daily blending capacity exceeds half a million gallons, and it has indoor and outdoor storage capacity of up to multiple million gallons. An in-house laboratory runs a testing program using ASTM testing equipment, and products are packaged in sizes ranging from pints and quarts to pails, kegs, drums, and totes.

The company positions itself as a supplier partner rather than a competitor to its customers, and it focuses on mature markets where it sees customer needs going unmet by major corporations.
