Water treatment and specialty chemicals manufacturer with regional distribution
Hawkins operates a traditional chemical manufacturing footprint across water treatment, food ingredients, and industrial solutions. The tech stack reflects heavy operational leverage — JD Edwards for ERP, HPLC and ICP-OES for analytical chemistry, Allen-Bradley and Ignition for plant automation — with no active migrations or tool adoptions signaling a stable, maintenance-focused engineering posture. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 42 open roles (past 30 days), skewed toward sales (17) and field engineering (11), pointing to geographic expansion and capacity-building in customer-facing operations rather than product innovation.
Hawkins manufactures and distributes chemical products for water treatment, food production, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications. Founded in 1938, the company operates as a public manufacturer with 1,001–5,000 employees headquartered in Roseville, Minnesota. Products range from potassium carbonate and chlorine to FCC-grade citrates and phosphates, sold to water utilities, food and dairy producers, manufacturers, and research institutions. The business combines direct manufacturing with contract blending and private-label services, supported by on-site technical testing and customer support.
